Looking to get into cycling for gravel and flat trails. I was gifted a Walmart gift card for a little over $100 so going to put it towards the Ozark Trail G1 but somethings I need help with.

I am leaning toward buying the bike already assembled considering I don't have the tools and hands ln experience to assemble it. I am not saying I can't get the tools and can't learn but figured for simplicity just buy the dang thing assembled. My concern is I see a lot of complaints about the derailleur. Is a guaranteed issue if I buy it built?

Secondly, as an entry level am I shooting myself in the foot by going with the drop bar? I am pretty active in general and don't think the position bad compared to the flat bar. Ultimately the goal is to ride long distance fast.

Going to order pedals and a new seat but any feedback would be appreciated ty

Long story short I met someone who said as soon I get Security+ they would offer me an entry cyber role position. If I get certified and have zero experience is the trifecta enough for me to have an understanding of a cyber role? I understand cyber is a ladder move but given the circumstance will I be walking in completely blind or are the certs a good foundation to where I won't look like an absolute moron
