Pre-made labs

I enjoy doing Jeremy’s labs, I do them on my own first they watch his video after. However I hate doing my own thing, I like a goal. Something easily found in pre-made labs.

Is there a site or maybe just a fellow Redditor that has labs for me to try.
I don’t mind a challenge, even if I don’t know something, I will fuck around and research a little too to help teach myself. So learning either way.

JITL day 10 IPv4 header

Holy shit that was a ton of information, had to think for a bit just for the IHL calculations. Then by the end of it all my head was fried.
Am I seriously meant to remember all this lol. Flashcards won’t be enough…

So career change, this is my roadmap. Thoughts?

I’m an engineer that just moved to the states.
I’m currently doing my CCNA and enjoying it, nothing difficult yet, even difficult though I enjoy.
After my CCNA I will get my SEC+. After I’ll do 5 or so solid projects to put on my GitHub.

So;
no experience
CCNA
SEC+
5 projects.
Maybe some projects to show understanding of scripting and automation.

And the goal is to land a NOC job. Entry of course.
I have a further roadmap, but one step at a time.

I know the market is ass, there’s always someone more qualified too. I know that, I know it’ll be like rolling dice to land my first job. BUT will what I bring be enough? Or should I be over-qualifying myself for this position? For the sake of getting ahead of everyone.

I would do helpdesk but ccna is kinda hard to land a helpdesk job with, from my understanding

Jeremy’s Anki cards

May be a really silly question but…. Am I meant to be getting such large spacing between cards? I understand if you get them correct often the spacing increases however I’m getting from a week spacing to sometimes a month spacing lol?

I put the card limit for 20 to 999 like Jeremy suggested in his first flashcard video. And then I also enabled FSRS at default 90%.

So I haven’t changed settings by a lot.
Is this normal? I feel that having such large spacing, even for cards I’m getting correct, will simply make it harder for me to recall? No?

Is this a good method?

Before I start studying, I take Jeremy’s flash cards. I then watch the lecture like normal, watch his lab and do it after too. Play around with it. Then get his flashcards for the day and do them.
Then tomorrow I basically repeat. Do today’s flashcards again tomorrow before studying.
And so on.

Is that a good method? Or should I be tweaking the flash cards settings so I’m getting them every 4 hours. So I’m not waiting minimum a day before getting the flashcards available again?
In his introduction to Anki he showed how to increase the limit to 999 but that just shows more than 20 a day. I tweaked the settings on my own so the wait time for the cards, if I get them correct, won’t be multiple days but I would prefer to get ALL the flashcards available again to go over in at least four hours. That way I’m not waiting a full day to see them again.

Idk maybe I forget faster as someone with ADHD, although with how it is now. I’m recalling well.

How are you guys forming your study sessions?

Feel I’m studying incorrectly

I use Jeremy’s playlist, I use his labs and flashcards. The flashcards help until I get to things like standards where I have to recall a ton of speeds and such.
I instead rewrite the chart several times and then follow up with flashcards so I have a better recall. I’m a visual learner. So I need to picture it.

Only downside to this is that it takes too long, I don’t get how people get a flashcard about a speed or and can just recall it from one lecture. That’s insane to me.

So I started studying today and I noticed he has in his playlist. Day 1, day 2, day 3, and so on. With each day having multiple videos.

How many “days” should I be doing in an actual day though? If I go by his layout, it’ll take close to 2 months, which is fine but I’m curious what most people are doing? Are you doing 2 “days” in a few hours study time? Or are you strictly sticking with his 1 day layout and all the videos involved in that day.

If any of that makes sense lmao.
Basically how many videos are you watching per day?
