Finishing a cert tomorrow, scheduling a CompTIA exam that goes hand in hand with their cert tonight. Hopefully helps a little

Nice!

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:07 AM

I'm racking up time on an 'internship' where I'm basically doing 30h of freelance work for a past professor scattered over four months, but his company is one of the highest profile open source small businesses out there

EyeCantCUOP•11/14/23, 5:08 AM

That's awesome. That should help significantly

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:09 AM

Fingers crossed

I'm also gradually picking apart how to use GTK4 properly to make an image switcher app, and planning to poke some bears about potentially making the first truly official chromium-based-browser Flatpak happen

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:11 AM

If I can get a second specific person in one thread to hash out details, I think it's possible

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:11 AM

The trouble is getting in touch with them

EyeCantCUOP•11/14/23, 5:14 AM

Sounds very promising. Would be nice to have both lol

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:14 AM

My thoughts as well lol

EEyeCantCU That's awesome. That should help significantly

If you've heard of htmx or hyperscript, he designed both. Great guy, and I learned a LOT from him

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:15 AM

I do think it'll help a lot to have that connection on my resume

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:16 AM

I should probably look into getting some certifications too, though

That's really cool. Internships usually go a long way. I went to school with a couple friends that interned at IBM and were offered positions there right after. It helps to have work experience from the get go

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:19 AM

I've had my eye on IBM/RH and AMD, if I can get in the door with either of them

EyeCantCUOP•11/14/23, 5:22 AM

RH or Canonical would be a dream

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:23 AM

I may not be a big fan of Canonical but I'd probably take it over a "defense" contractor these days

EyeCantCUOP•11/14/23, 5:27 AM

I live about 2 hours away from a ton of def contractors and I've had good luck landing interviews with them. Problem is relocating to a significantly more dangerous area

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:27 AM

Ahhh

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:28 AM

Yeah, one of my three most promising leads was Raytheon, but then I ended up in a city three hours away from the factory where they would really want me

ChaiQi•11/14/23, 5:29 AM

Defense contractors are way ahead of the curve on smart manufacturing, which is one of my specialties

EyeCantCUOP•11/14/23, 5:29 AM

I'm by Lockheed, Cobham, Raytheon, and a few others
