I've been doing handyman jobels for about 8 yrs. 8 have to say I enjoy much more than construction work. As a handyman I get to enjoy one on one with people owners. I must say I have enjoyed it l. It has been a learning curve from the same job over and over. Everyday brings new challenges and obstacles to conquer for individuals that mostly enjoy what I have to offer.

My buddy wants to start doing handiman work. How did you get started? If you don't mind, I'd love to chat about how you got started, built a clientele, etc. He has a skills for both the business and handyman side of things

Good for you for carving out a space for yourself, that's awesome. I'm also curious about how you went about turning this into a full time business - how are you getting clients? Word of mouth, paid ads, some combination of the two?

Hi Fishes,
I am having 4.6 + years of experience as a Manual test engineer and already frustrated with it.
In these years, I haven't learn any technical skills.
Though , I am very good at handling clients, planning and at other required stuffs.
But all these are soft skills which doesn't directly contributed to my resume.

I need your suggestion that which technical skills I can learn online? Has anyone changed their career from testing to BI ( Power BI / Tableau ) ?

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
