Hello everyone I recently graduated a certificate course and obtained my Comptia Security + & ITF + as well as Microsoft Windows Server Administrator and System Administrator certifications. I’m feeling a little lost on next steps or what direction I should be going with my career. I currently work on contract as a Helpdesk ticketing agent for the state I currently live in and I use very little what I learned, I feel I could be doing more ? or am I in the right place?

Is being a journalist a financially stable career?

Take a break from this crazy world and curl up with a good book! Not something you have to read, but something that you want to read because you chose it. Take your brain and imagination on a wonderful vacation to fantasy land. I'm doing some time travel to get away and dream. I hope you try it. Here's to coping skills!

Asking for my spouse - can dependents on H4 (no EAD) take up unpaid internships and get some hands on knowledge and get an internship certificate to show some work experience as they wait for their EAD?

Hi guys, I am due to start working at EY soon within audit.

I will be commuting to the office by train when in the Birmingham office. This will be from Leicester.

Usually if a commute is about 1.5 hours+, Mazars authorises hotels. Is there a similar policy at EY?

When not in the office I would prefer to drive to clients, not sure if me being in Leicester affects whether they will tell me to suck up an extended commute? Would a mileage claim be from the office to the client?

Thanks!
