I look through Microsoft Learn, Coursera, Udemy, and youtube for learning and ideally I find a course where I can actually have some hands-on experience in doing something and not just reading about it or watching a video on it. Have you been on any of those or try different ways to learn things?

Setup a lab for yourself. First lesson: decide on your platform. You want to use VMs. Windows is popular, but maybe you want to use Linux. Plan on learning both.

On Windows, you can use the native HyperV or maybe VirtualBox. Linux can use VB too.

Then you can create a many VMs as your kit will allow. Install OS, Docker, Network them, create servers and clients, make them mail hosts or whatever you want.

That's how I did it ten years ago before there was so much free vendor training. AWS and MS have good stuff that I believe includes hands-on practice at the command line and for the various admin dashboards.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.
