So for example you would like to have a CompTia++ Networking as a goal?
yes
Cisco qualification for networking is never bad
The basics of it help with beginners tho
I know how much he does for others, he's an absolute sweetheart
That would be the traditional thinking, as well as helpdesk for years and "paying your dues"
but guys, I'm asking for a beginner friendly resource
Especially for the general knowledge
the netacad website of cisco?
We have worked together for almost four years, known him for 5.
To be clear, I'm not against that.
He truly is glad people around him recognise that hope yall nag him to look after himself and be kind to himself cause heβs shit at that 
I understand you dont need to make disclaimers dw
π
It is
okay thankyou guys
We help all the newbies!

Until it comes to them asking for room answers
Not that old here
Some do I use write ups if Iβm confused tbh
Well there is a difference in mentoring, and giving answers.
also, is it possible to reach God or atleast master on Tryhackme without premium?
When I get some more comfort in my skills Iβll defo answer more
Yup!
DISCLAIMER: he sells smoke nowwwwwwww, his coffee, more products and gimmicks than actual knowledge π
Same id prefer to get the knowledge around it instead of not understanding and be given. the short cut
Personally when I answer people I hope to lead them to the water (metaphorically)
Best way to do it
Why are you gatekeeping cybersecurity /s
lol
Same but once theyβre at the water I refuse to teach them to fish 
lol just kidding, gotta mix some metaphores
Whats /s mean? never seen that term before
Then thatβs on them not you

lol

Does anyone have any understanding of fans/ electrical because im trying to find out what this sound is and nothing is coming up.
If it was surely in any place weβd have the skills to find the reference 
ππππ
What did you stick in the fan
Nothing its been doing it all morning
The clip was like a micro second but could be a bearing or just the size of the fan and having it spin fast
Playing card...
My guess someone put something in that fan
Or in Scotland a Sunny D lid...
If someone did that means i gotta pay out more for a vent system! yay!
Anyway ima go on THM cuz im extremely bored and have nothing todo bye bye

Hey 
Does it handel
Currently waiting
just running a small dirbuster wordlist
see what it picks up
nice dude
Yeah got bored so i asked my webhosting if im allowed to do it and they basically said go ahead
love that energy when in doubt
Just needed to check as its a offshore hosting and they dont allow alot of stuff like it
always good to double check especially with offshore hosting
yeahh some of them are very weird especially the one im using they r good just whenever it comes to technical work they like being slow π
not much to work with, could it be something in the fan or a bad bearing?
Ayo thatβs the worst good service but the slow response can be a real pain π
Yeah im going to open it up tomorrow morning before everything is turned on, thanks anyway

I'm using Kali Linux on VMware, but the screen size is too small, making the text hard to read. Does anyone know a solution to this?
You can use VirtualBox for better experience.
It's not a hypervisor specific problem. Usually there is a guest extensions package you need to install in the guest, or you can manually set the display resoolution in the guest if all you want to do is change the screen size.

Hid him in the cupboard
i had a weird thought the other day ---- i haven't heard anyone use the word cupboard irl in years (not online)
Last time I was out, it was a liter of vodka and 5 liquor 45 shots
I just want to stop thinking
Sleep instead
ngl i don't go out much, not my scene, we normally grab a half barrel and just don't stop til it's empty (and then sadly go to bed cause the fun is over and the sun is up)
Can't
I only go out to celebrate birthdays cause friends want to party, and the bar we always go to has a "free bar" for like 27 Euros
I don't have friends to drink with
free bar? as in unlimited just go and get alcohol?
we call that an open bar here, interesting difference
Yeah, you get like 20 different vodka drinks to choose from, all night long, you get one glass that acts as your refiller
not aware of any places like that around here tbh -- most open bars are for actual events, like weddings, formals, balls, whatever else
Yeahhh, this is every day the bar is open
also my go-to drinks for open bars, when liquor, often end up being a simple mule (+ bitters if avail) or a whiskey sour
- orange bitters > normal for that as well

Hello 
I might move to qemu for my virtual machines
I'd suggest just daily driving Kali than use VB :π€£
thing is virtualbox dying wasnt a me problem.
I didnt do anything to it lol
Exactly.
It's shit software.
love how passionate you are about your VM software π
him or me?
Scrubz - you're just trying to use it, but Scubz has an active burning hate for Vbox π
its awful, but it did work without issues for a few weeks at least. All the issues I had was just not really grasping the settings
he does he tells me to install vmware then in the next sentence says "oh wait you're on linux"
He's torn by the duality of virtualisation
lmao yeah.
at the moment im just reading up on qemu because I know that its different to vbox and im sure vbox is good if you're not doing what we're doing with vms but I definitely need a bit more control when it comes to setting up networks etc and well something that wont randomly die after a few weeks.
Honestly, I've used Vbox since I started, and never had an issue. Maybe I just never tested the limits of it
part of it is probably because im using an arch based system. Which has an update every time you blink
See, thats why I never used Arch. Like, I have a specific reasons for firing up a computer and/or VM, and having to tinker with the OS is never it
I went with arch based because I play video games, thats literally it
Hehe 's why I'm on windows :p
im too pedantic when it comes to windows to use it again.
Fair enough, different strokes for different folks
plus, you've likely got a waaaaay better idea on how an OS actually works than I do
I doubt it, but I do use a terminal a lot more tho xD
Arch angers me
I was running it in a container to run a Minecraft server and it was not playing ball because of invalid keys
I hate the new google update
Eventually got it to work
I just thought all my MFA's got deleted π
Ahh, I use authy personally
we are talking like 25 different accounts
And keepassxc
Didn't VMware Workstation just go full free
I suggest trying that
the issue is installing it
U cannot get workstation to work on Arch ?

Hi
Good morning/afternoon/evening/night chat
morning you two
what's up guys
I'm thinking about moving away from Gmail & creating a new address with the intention of exclusively using email aliases + stronger security features overall. Does anyone here have experience with StartMail? I'm researching on my own as well but would appreciate any input
i just looked it up, it seems promising but definitely do your own research throughly and choose with your judgement :p
I would say ProtonMail would be a good addition to your list
They also offer those iirc
protonmail i have used. Its good
hello
See, I was considering protonmail as well but read somewhere that the e2e encryption only applies to mail sent between two protonmail accounts? My understanding of encryption is shallow at this time, and I'm willing to sit here and search info on pgp and gnupg etc, but a lack of experience will likely leave "gaps" that i won't perceive
Emails from Proton Mail users to non-Proton Mail users
End-to-end encrypted if the Password-protected Emails(new window) feature is selected.
Otherwise encrypted with TLS if the non-Proton Mail mail server supports it (most providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, support TLS). Note, since these messages are encrypted but not end-to-end encrypted, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc will be able to read these messages and hand them over. This is not possible if you use Password-protected Emails, which enable Proton Mailβs end-to-end encryption.
ofcourse, thats why you use pgp. but as long as one part is non-compliant with "privacy". its a wasted efforts.
hi guys
I think the issue with emails, is that if you want proper end-to-end encryption, you either need all of your recipients to use Proton or whichever email service offers this feature, Or you need to encrypt them yourself, and ensure the recipient is tech savy enough to do the same on their end.
I'm also probably overthinking it because I barely use email for actual communication apart from school, applying for jobs, bureaucracies etc. Regardless, thank you both for your input
in normal use cases. its always never possible to achieve this. unless all parties are equally paranoid

I just wanted to know , whose study material is better
Can you provide more context? Are you studying for a cert? What subject do you want to learn more about?
I am doing pen 100 , but some people said oscp study material is lil hard to understand so they go with peh Crouse from TCM bc its easy to understand. Juts wanted to know whose material is better
Oh, I see. I'm personally not sure because I haven't studied for anything except A+ yet, so hopefully someone else will chime in soon.
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @jolly plume (current: #957 - 4)
Do you also consider the pen 100 course to be hard to understand? Since your goal seems to be to pass the OSCP, doing their courses can't be a bad idea. However, nothing is stopping you from using other resources.
PEH is definitely great, but it's in video format, so that might not suit your learning style. They have a whole section on building an AD lab, configuring it, then attacking it, which is very useful.
There are also a few network rooms on THM that can help learn some of the concepts needed for the OSCP.
I prefer video , tho its not that I will leave oscp material, i thought if i go with TCM , it will be lil easy
Bc I saw many talking about if they had started with TCM it would be alot easy or they don't understand oscp easily
I think you should try and finish the pen100 the course and see how you feel. It might have been hard for another person, but we are all different π
It's easy to get sidetracked with plenty of different courses covering the same or similar topics, then never actually completing one of them.
what are some of the rooms that help prepare for the OSCP, any active directory or lateral movement type?
I see, thanks alot
It depends on your current knowledge. If you are starting with OSCP as a beginner, then yes, you might want to use TCM or other platforms to learn the fundamentals first.
Gave +1 Rep to @hollow pivot (current: #45 - 200)
now I've seen it all
Pen 100 covers evrything for pen 200 basic
If you go here https://tryhackme.com/r/hacktivities and click on the networks tab, you can see what we have. Most of those will come in handy or anything AD related.
I have never done the pen100, but looking at it, it seems to cover the fundamentals. if you have already purchased it, might as well get it done 
Ofc , I am doing it , I was talking about after pen 100
I love this
Just dont be using it for important stuff cuz if u forget ur pwd, oof u lost all ur past emails

And can you learn this way?
i learn a few things
but it doesn't really go into depth on the lessons
I will say the premium learning paths are a very easy way to find the detailed rooms
hmmm
and some rooms goes deeper on a topic learned earlier
All the paths are free, they just containt subscription content.

Ive always done inperson requests and indeed
I regularly am headhunted so job market can't be that scuffed
I would not say I was headhunted, but I was dm'd a job that was going live.
So I'll take that as a positive.
Ayyyyy
Always look at the positive side
I've been directly approached three times this week. Rejected them all, either not enough money or not even nearby

Nothing wrong with that.
I'm failing to see the issue.
Iβm a fragile creature π
are you sure she's into women
might just want another girl to go with π€·ββοΈ
She flirts a lot
well, do you like women?
and if so, does she know?
Yeah
I dunno if she knows
maybe she's just being friendly
Ehhh, I wouldn't know
@sick lance I like your new user, it's true π π
...Yes
Sheβs constantly trying to get me over, talks about inappropriate stuff
I don't speak to women, but that looks like a regular conversation
Trying to constantly have her feet up on me
I think itβs kind odd behaviour but maybe the autism in me and not liking being touched is talking
π
I mean sometimes honesty is the best policy. Just tell her how you've been feeling about her communication.
Better to nip it in the bud earlier
ngl it could be either, there are many other clues about feelings. To me this just sounds like being open, a good friend
Also from my experience with women. They do tend to be a bit inappropriate when they talk amongst friends
I dunno about good friend as Iβve only known her for a short period of time but maybe sheβs more open than I am
yeah i think betta is right
if not working is normal?
Itβs kinda awkward but I donβt want to bring it up because it might make it more awkward
Maybe identify the problem, either you find out its easy to fix or you know that you have to buy a new one
It'll be more awkward if she gets the wrong idea
Also what does she mean naughty when Iβm just asking the spelling of her name lmao thatβs completely irrelevant or off topic π€£
Everything is messed up idk if its fixable anymore
try your best to fix it, if it were mine i would have tried my best to figure out the problem
What's the point of feeling awkward in humans
You're asking another autistic person π
Its been 4 hours im trying to figure it out
But everything is messed up
maybe she thought that you are kidding
I donβt understand humans

But my cats piss havent dried yet

Everything is drenched
Did it broke?
just dissemble it and leave it covered in a towel
Okay ill try it
Disassemble it. Leave it covered in a towel. Hope for the best
then wash it with distilled water
Alr
nah i disabled integrated GPU and then it was not booting up just the fans kept running
Oh thats
It can tell when itβs guys being flirty
But not women
did you reset cmos
This.
Not bringing attention could make it seem like you're interesed/re-paying the interest back.
Then how did you fixed it?
Yeah well, at least you have that going for you π
Had to post in the house group chat because we went from using Β£16 of electricity to Β£60 over the space of a month. Just felt like I was complaining at them π (we have a utility package so it's a set cost)
SEE, EVEN YOU KNOW IT.
I'm pretty sure you are supposed to have that insight
I know who has the space heaters. It was okay a few months ago but I did some maths and if they have it on for 4 hours each (there's two people), it's Β£30 a week.
it was only supporting 2gb of ram so i used a stick of 2gb and enabled the IGPU and then plugged all the other sticks and removed that 2gb stick
Who used it a few months ago when it wasn's as cold? π
I don't want to be like "Uhm, you have to turn off the space heaters
" but it's not fair when it's not going past 10 degrees in my room
If it costs you money you have every right
I mean, they could have it on so when it gets to a set temp it cuts out
Geniuss!!
They complained the heating wasn't heating up their room so we said it would be fine for them to get a space heater.
And cuts back in when it the temp drops.
@calm timber for know i follow the rule "If it is working fine don't touch it"
what did you do to scrubz's name Jabba?
Also if your U.K. based Iβm guessing you are jabba they could if they are going to use they could use it during non peak hours of electricity and the cost will go down
This is the problem, it doesn't cost me any more money. But we have a negligence clause in our contract that states we can lose gas and electricity if they think we're misusing the 'unlimited' resources we've been given.
It's also not fair if they're sitting next to their space heaters for excessive periods of time and being nice and toasty when we could just make the heating come on for longer and hotter.
I have to sit at my desk with a hoodie, two blankets and gloves π₯²
Sabotage it
Nah so it could 100% cost you money

thats the rule I broke when I was messing with my ram for 10 hours through the night because I just had to try the other ram slot and then when I put it back in original it still wasn't booting
The difference between the system you have now and would have would be huge I imagine
Ironically one of their space heaters already did break (I'm assuming it was a fuse), but if it's due to too much use.. π€£
Well, I believe we would lose everything included in the package so: gas, electricity, wifi, water and TV license.
It's the last one that scares me
Utilise your PC for heat 
You should tell them my grandad who is 87 has temperature controlled heating.

I donβt think so I believe itβs only for U.K. households who vote live tv
Caffeine is a drug.
clearly not enough, buy the one that has "thick ass blanket" on the label
BAD FOR HEALTH
Best drug
I really am not that big on coffee, I drink it to help me stay awake π
But there is a BBC America channel.
Yer I doubt they could make Americans pay the licence
They can't 
I have a quilt, a think wooly blanket, a weighted blanket, a thinner but fluffy pink blanket and a blanket my partner made for my birthday
Weighted blankets are the best
Thermal socks
combine them all and you have a thick ass blanket
They are but mine is so cold in winter π
Best for cold rooms
That reminds me! I need to buy thick socks
Not losing heat from feet is a huge benefit
PINK BLANKET
Considering I have size 12 feet I can lose a lot of heat from them
Wearing socks in bed can actually help you fall asleep faster due to temperature regulation π 
Also Iβm with my grandad energy costs are going up so this problem will only get worse when the price cap is removed this winter
Better sort it now
Ordering clothes off amazon feels weird
To be fair with how cheap things are rn itβs not a bad choice
you didn't have to buy me one Scrubz
that's actually a huge problem, it indicates that you are not using the proper form. You gotta seal that up, you gotta wrap it around the top so it keep the accumulated warm body temperature air from escaping, it's horrible on its own
Something something shake my hand I'll shake yours.
jabba just realized you have left my friend req on read :c
Xd
I do hope you get it sorted jabba donβt go freezing and then still get your bills added on top
Scratch my back, I'l l scratch yours? π€
In some communities it's replaced with lick your back
like a cat
Thatβs wild
do cats lick eachother
I canβt imagine that being a pleasant experience 
Sometimes yes
mine washes himself every 45s
Sorry const!
I get a ton of friend requests so I have rules about adding people:
- TryHackMe Employees
- TryHackMe Community Volunteers
- Friends (both IRL and online)
- Adding people who have DMs set to friends only
- I will likely remove you afterwards
- People who I talk to often, but you're likely to fall into the friend category if we talk that often so
he is currently passed out behind me
For the record this is what my discord looks like rn
LOL jesus
37 of those DM's are from me, he loved ignoring me
You're adding me then?
Icl from what Iβve heard the staffs dms requests and notifications are normally in the 1000s
jabba probably goes through and clears them
I made @shut hawk a community volunteer so I didn't have to admit I wanted to be friends with him
π
lol
Lol
That is personal
afternoon Jabba
I'm not staff, yet I get lots.
Assuming I am.
I try my best to go through them every week. I respond to DMs within 24 hours unless you're Scrubz
LOL
Then it's 3-4 days.
valid
You have a shield thatβs on you
^
Business Days.
I've been in this chat for an hour too long
I spin a wheel from 1-50 and whatever it lands on is how many days I take to get back to Scrubz
poor Scrubz left on read by Jabba v_v
Tooooooooooooooooooo many times.
Iβve cooked eaten lunch made dessert and now eaten it during that hour
im setting up all my virtual machines agaim
I removed vbox
Yer that would do it
I removed vbox after vbox broke itself
Tbh I havenβt needed a vm but ima gonna need one soon when I figure out how to create a local hosting of my aunts website so I can try and break it
lies
Exhibit A
there's a lot of exhibits from what I remember, but that's hearsay
Jabbas DM is an exhibit.
the nots are increasing
wb to the elite hackers club
Yes
Jabba- why we dont have a volunteer role for people who help a lot in channels like room-help ? i want one for KGB
So...
Community Mentor?
^
no
Exhibit B
Ahken Ken.
something related to rooms
...Community Mentor.
So community mentor
but why KGB doesnt have this role yet
Community mentor votes are once every couple of quarters
We need enough candidates to make it a vote
okay
Back in my day..... π
I miss blob and ma1ware π
not not not not scrubzπ€£π€£
I miss them too. I miss elf too
Community Mentors are voted in by Community Mentors.
It's a fun role to have
Alright the house group chat has turned into a debate, I'm not going to bother responding π€£
How have I put on weight
idk
Calorie surplus
But I haven't. I've been in a calorie deficit and I'm on medication
You have a lower metabolism because of the medication?
@granite narwhal please don't send me random friend request
No just slows down your gi tract so you feel fuller.
gl with the that one hopefully they get your side of it xd
Ah, fair, hmmm, water weight due to an increased sodium intake?
Low sodium intake.
It's likely water
I'm out of ideas then
There's no way I've gained half a stone in a week
body can just fluculate a lot naturally
imo dont overthink it
i just started my first calorie deficit in 9 months and dropped 3 stone in 3 weeks with no exercise
Theyβre telling me to buy a space hearer and trying to make it sound like theyβre the one who is being super affected by this.
βI have a big window in my room, I can only feel the heat if I sit by my doorβ
Shaking my head
typical narrcasist response
please don't underestimate exercise π
u arent seeing my side of it
Exactly.
With our house setup theyβre actually getting all of the heat.
Heat rises and my room actually is above the neighbouring building, Iβm not actually getting any of the heat from downstairs
as i said before i live with my grandad hes 87 i do everything i can to priortise his heat even if it means i often in my tiny room suffer due to running a higher power pc
cause he needs it more
It's such a silly thing to argue over, we're having a who is more cold competition π
Cole Palmer π₯Ά
If they're not Frosty the Snowman, their opinion is null and void.
thats problem at this uni age people havent fully got to the point where they get compromise in a household enviroment
too use to mommy and daddy giving them their favouried enviroment
I honestly hope our utilities company cancels our contract
then make the equitable split and this person will learn rq xd
It would be the most expensive way of proving me right
vinidication!
I asked not do to a separate bills package because I was worried about something like this happening
look what we have here π
RIP Andre Braugher
loved him in b99
For real π
lowkey that made me so sad
yea that was in like s5
i did love that season
I knew by like the end of s1
it was during COVID so I literally had nothing to do half the time π
I'm at the point where I know all of the lines
icl im probably close
Sometimes I just randomly say the lines. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast
that's so me
it happends I was talking with my mum, and I didn't even remember if it was yesterday or some day this week that I was in her house π
Time to lift aka TTL π
rocking that beard π
It's the UK, it's basically a breeding ground for narcissism
ouch
could always be worse
don't actually think that's possible
It's a mess π
genuinely hate this country and a large majority of the people in it
are the courses in the new spider path (web app hacking) new or did they combine existing courses together and made the path?
No offence but you know you have the freedom to leave right?
at least you can grow one π my body is not capable of doing that, once I didn't shave for 3 years and I didn't get more than 3 or 4 cm of hair π
Ahhhh it is a nightmare for the odd occasion I have to go clean-shaven. Within half a day I have stubble
Why are teenagers bothering to go to the gym π he's done one set of curls and walked off
what's happening
A journey of a thousand miles start with one step π maybe he'll go back tomorrow or other day and do more
can people please stop randomly trying to add me on discord
the lion king
I doubt it. He's ego lifting at best with really bad form. More like a trip to the hospital
If he comes back I'll offer help
It was Lao Tzu actually π I like to get my wisdom from books rather than films but that's me
you should see me at the gym, I get on 1 machine after a few mins I get bored and move onto the next so after 30 mins I would have been on about 20 machines
What dat
I'm thinking of starting gym next week
If it works it works
Not planning to do much weights, more cardio personally
I only went for a little bit then never went back
maybe that's what he needs to learn π
Probably
That's a phrase that I'd probably never going to say π 0 motivation
I've said it for a while but I've been so busy with other stuff
Like I am trying to get everything together π€£
I woke up today at ten to 8 and was so proud that I went to bed at a sensible time and woke up at a sensible time
regardless when I go to bed I wake up at 6:55
said it, it's the first step, so you're there. You only need the final step π
technically it's 15 minutes worth of steps haha
but yeah I'm hoping to start going with housemates soon
I got a question
Would you rather get/find a job for few months (Developer or Help Desk or some) or Enhance your skills/Get certifications when your goal is to land a Pen tester job
thank u
Gave +1 Rep to @silver sky (current: #44 - 205)
Do both
anyone who won merch in the last event?
Yes
π°
where do you put the code received on mail
In checkout
laughs in 6'
5'10 and I struggle myself
the shopify page?
cries in 5"
Let's say its a 9-5 job a hour to travel and all so 8-6 then you can barely get any time to study/enhance your skills
not more than 4-5 hours unless you want to f up your sleep schedule and stuff
Yes at checkout it asks for a discount code. Place it there
I work 12 hours shifts. Study at university, go to the gym, see friends etc. I hear excuses
that big code right?
xxxxxxx-xxx-xxx-cxxxxx
Yes
it says
Enter a valid discount code
Then your code is not valid then?
12 hour shift
study at uni (you forgot to mention not daily XD) anyway if daily then atleast 2 hour
gym atleast 1 hour i assue
see friends for atleast 30 minutes
give time to yourself atleast 1 hour yk food etc
17-18 hours approx already gone so tell me when you study and sleep in rest of those hours XD
F
You'll need to contact support
those sites are safety ??
I understand. I love reading books. But this quote is also from The Lion King movie, so it appears that the director is a fan of Lao Tzu, hehe
12 hours shift. Half an hour to the gym, minimum two hours session. Go home, eat, sleep. Then on my gym rest days I study or see friends.
On it
thanks

So how much is study/enhancing skills?
I spend about 10 hours a week on study
hr and a bit a day
And if someone were not to do a job which is not similar to the career that they're trying to pursue it would be their daily study hours even more
Not really.
study smart not hard
Hey Everyone, my THM sub just auto renewed (didn't know it was coming) - is there a black friday event on at the moment or no?
I got my first management certification while in Iraq working.
Ofc those factors gets involved here
but not to involve burnouts overworking while doing a job and studying isnt a factor for you guys? XD
ofc ofc depends on the person haha
how do you manage your time? im a bachelors student and with all the assignments, logbooks and presentation i cant seem to foucs in one thing
Well 10 hours a week
vs
10 hours a day
It'll take you 7x time to get a cert if you were to do a job which doesn't as much helps you in your career
I have a whiteboard and everything is written like a diary there.
One advice i got from somewhere was
Don't rush it
Take your time its never too late
false
im a 19yo and from all these social media, i think i am a lot behind
Well look around you
Are you really behind?
Ignore social media it'll only drag you down
100% and you never know the truth if theyre simply lying
like no one posts their failures (mostly)
You're still only 19, which means you aren't behind at all
At 19 I was in Iraq π mad that
If you really want to manage your time then simply analyze your life like what do you do through out the day for a week and you'll know where you waste most of your time (if you actually waste or not)
Is it possible to get more contracts as a pentester vs finding a dang job in blue team cyber? Iβm leaning towards offering cyber services from the skills Iβve obtained
You mean freelancing?
Yes
As a company yourself would you rather trust a company or a person? (Nothing bad in freelancing but yeah just my take)
After my Cysa+, i might go for EHC and Pentest
Well i would get a llc and logo and such as a company
Without years of experience, contacts in the industry, business insurance, etc etc not likely
Business insurance isn't cheap
I do see others offering services with experience backgrounds but you are right companyβs usually favor companies. Trying to find a job within the range of IT is already hard enough
If you already have a job and if your company allows you to freelance i would suggest try to get a contract first see how it works out for you if you like it or not
Sup buddy , how are you π ?
hi
Welcome π
people keep using the #1307058052913954847 room for introductions π
haven't had a good chance to do some THM content this week since the pressure has been put on me at work. the wrong group (sales and marketing) found out i'm useful
Please don't ping everyone or here.
