I’ve given up on cybersecurity.

Despite spending countless hours studying the content, earning my Security+ and Network+ certifications, and learning scripting with Python, PowerShell, and Bash, I’ve come to realize that I’m never going to work as a cybersecurity analyst. I even had my resume double-checked by leaders on LinkedIn, but still, no offers or interviews have come my way… Sorry for the rant.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation.

I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

At what point is too much prep?? I think reading about how grueling the Amazon interview process is has sent me into a spiral lol. Interview is tomorrow and can someone just tell me it really isn’t as bad as everyone says it is??! 😂😭

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket? Seems to me it would have been advantageous to have someone firmly in the Trump camp - like Alex Jones - as his VP to galvanize the base and put more daylight between the Trump ticket and Biden’s mainline political position. Thoughts?

My Redfin agent recently quit with one day notice to start his own firm. He was the one behind my deal and did a lot of work and help with negotiation. However Redfin called me and said they put their top regional lead on transaction which is set to close in 10 days. I’m conflicted with what to do. As a buyer I know I can switch firms with seller’s consent and it won’t impact the deal, or will it? The agent said if I went with him he’s throw me an additional incentive to close with him.
