AWS Engineer. Took it because there will be better chances of career advancement because it's a huge company. First few months is a bunch of training on stuff like Keubernetes and automation tools so a couple years from now I'll be eligible for those sweet DevOps jobs that pay crazy amounts of money. They also pay for any cert training and will for my travel and hotel for the AWS event every year in Vegas.
Plus the office is downtown right across the street from a dope ass condo building I've been wanting to moving to.
And the office is full of some young thots and fine ass single moms who work in the call center. They were peepin when I walked in there in my new suits for the interviews.

Just finished my last day of Desktop Support for the DoD. Come monday, we Cybersecurity gang. 
Brehs... I got an interview for a Security Automation Engineer position. Can't believe this hard work is paying off. I know it's just an interview but just last fall I was on here posting about how I got a call center job running a shytty help desk for $10/hr in Florida and how I moved out to Chicago to skill up and stack up
Now I'm here interviewing for a $70k-80k position and I owe it to a lot of the brehs in here. When you on your purpose and life is dope, you should be able to demand whatever you want out of it. Adapt a growth mindset and the only thing stopping you is you.
Thanks for the game thus far
. J Cole said it best, "you've come a long way but you still got a long way to go."
Btw, any advice for this interview? I feel they are going to come at me with Linux and maybe Python/Bash scripting stuff. So I was wondering if there is anyone here with a similar position or background.

Better choice imo.
When you moved to Chicago did you already have a job and do you have any certifications? I'm in a call center now trying to move into securityBrehs...

Just help desk and internship experience which was far more helpful than any cert tbh.
If you can show them you know what you're doing that's all that matters. I'd study Sec+ material if you're looking to get into security.
If you wanna get technical look into learning sysadmin stuff. This is what really stepped up my IT game. I went with Red Hat Linux instead of Windows. Some of those MS certs are on some ole bullshyt. Keep in mind, a lot of IT in a way is security in some form so you have a crazy amount of options.

Brehs question.. what is a suitable time frame for a tech company(telecom so on so forth) to get back in contact with you about a job offer or a rejection letter?? The company I had applied for paying me more here hasn't gotten back in contact with me about the job after my 2nd interview with them although it states that I am "under consideration".
