What do you think? Is marketing doing this on purpose or did they fire some people to save some money? This just looks so goofy
US Citizen. I have 13 years of experience in cybersecurity working for banks and MSPs and I will pay $5k once I receive my first paycheck to the person that refers me to a job at their workplace.
My experience is mostly in vulnerability management and secure configuration but with the experience I have in cyber I can do almost any blue team role. I’ll even do customer service or anything that pays the bills.
It would have to be in the next 60 days though or I won’t have $5k.
Send me a DM with the job/company details and we’ll go from there.
Edit: The catch? I need a job. I have a family to take care of. My career counselor said the best way to get a job now is to know someone so I need to know someone hence why I am posting here. 250,000 tech workers have been laid off so far this year and my applications are buried within theirs.
If the bathrooms are icky or one is not available…What do yall do for a privacy tent or do you do everything you need to do out in the open with no one around? I plan on bringing a toilet option with me (I can’t squat due to chronic pain issues so I have to sit). But I don’t know which privacy tent to buy because they are more expensive than I remember from when I bought one to change clothes in for an event long ago. I don’t have it anymore
Because they are all so expensive I wonder if the cheaper ones are not good quality
He passed away 2/13/24. I had a dog pass away that I had for 16 years and I knew it was her time to go, although I grieved it wasn’t like this.
We saw his health diminish and couldn’t help him, I think that is why I still cry every so often about him. He visits me in my dreams and we just hang out…it feels so real then I wake up and realize it’s a dream.
Why am I so sad, still? I know he is around me, is he ok? Does he understand what happened? I don’t want to forget him even though it hurts but I think of him all the time. I wish I could dream about hanging out with him every night.
I guess I just don’t know what to do but to just be sad.
Hi 👋 I’m planning my first camping trip. I’m disabled and can’t do heat and it is HOT here. I’m willing to drive to get to a good spot up to 8 hours. However I’m not ready to handle bears! Im near Oklahoma. Could possibly drive up to Kansas, eastern New Mexico or southern Colorado. Will have my dog with me. Looking for a good safe spot with a restroom.
Planning on using a tent but could also sleep in my car.
Anxious about it but I love nature and being alone so I’m hoping this works out.
Thank you! 🙏
Sorry don’t want to post a picture of myself so posting my favorite pics from recent nature walks to represent my energy. One of my favorite things to do and I love nature so seems fitting.
I have been looking for a job for a few months and this is my third layoff in 3 years. Been working in this field 15 years and never experience this before. I think it’s the economy.
I so desperately want to just have a job where I can stay and do good work (as i did before)
I have a feeling about a certain start date, not sure how I’m going to get there but it’s like I just KNOW. But I can’t tell if this will be my job like the one I had for many years where I just did my work and did it well without outside circumstances causing my eventual loss of the job.
So two part question… what are you feeling for my next start date and is this my job to keep or just a next one on the way?
I guess I am just trying to confirm because I know I always can tell what’s about to happen but i am skeptical and also not feeling super excited about the potential ones on the horizon because they don’t feel right. But the date feels so certain like it’s etched in stone…or is it wishful thinking
Hot sauce hiding inside
I meditate on average 5-10 min a day and have been doing so for over a year. It doesn’t make me sleepy unless I do it at night (with the intent to relax).
I started doing the gateway tapes and the best timing for my schedule is the morning or mid-day however it leaves me so so sleepy all day. And I need to be awake and alert because I have adhd so if I’m not alert then I can’t do anything right. I listen all the way to the end and somehow I suspect I’m not getting back into Focus 1??
However at night it gets too late by the time I’m done with everything like dinner, petcare, preparing for next day etc and I need to go to sleep. It’s much easier to get it done in the morning before everyone wakes up.
Wondering what y’all’s experience has been with the timing of listening to the tapes.
Looking for 2 Js to start 3 months apart.
I keep running across companies that have terrible reviews…but I do the interviews anyway because I need the practice.
I’ve worked at some chaotic companies and I’m used to it but I’m also tired so I dunno…but in a way it works for OE because you can be a fixer, fix problems, be a hero, then fade into the background and be forgotten if you want (I’ve used this strategy before lol)
Tell me a story about a chaotic J that actually worked in your favor for OE.
I’ve been laid off three times. I’m a single parent of young adults and while I have a good severance I’m tired of the layoffs. I’m in cybersecurity with 15 yrs exp and I’m too qualified for just any job, so I may need to start lying. I’ve built compliance programs and I’m a leader but I really wouldn’t mind an analyst job.
Had one recruiter tell me the manager is sick on the day of the interview and “we don’t know when he’s coming back.” Poof, disappeared. Always “in a meeting and will call me back”
One company decided to hire me after 2 interviews and said I passed the tech interview amazing well (they haven’t been having good interviews). Wrote back and said I just had a few questions. No answer and it’s been 4 days.
Then had a recruiter from a big company call me and apologize for the short notice but wanted to interview me the next day. “someone handed me your resume and said to call you right away” (Sure…) No reason to apologize I was so excited! This was a company I could see myself working for and the role would be a senior Director role. She said she would email me the invite but I didn’t get it so I texted her the next day and no answer. I also called and left a message. Three days later, she sends me a rejection email at 11:08 PM. On Friday.
That’s just in the last week! Every single recruiter that wants to hire me end up completely ghosting me at some point and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I just want to provide for my family.
Breakfast for dinner: egg white w cheddar, dried blueberries, pretzel crackers, pine nut hummus and (not pictured) cranberry juice.
Hi! I had an interview with a company that selected me for a 1099 role and then ghosted me. During that process, I ended up researching 1099 and started looking at office spaces for me to work out of. I have a consultation with a CPA scheduled as well. I did all of this homework only for them to ghost me, lol. Such is life in this economy.
After doing my research, I decided that this is the route I want to go. I have 15 years of experience in cybersecurity, mostly in vulnerability and risk management. I also do risk compliance, reports/data, working with C levels etc… I have a lot of great skills to put to use.
Are there any companies that are looking for 1099 workers or how do I go about finding these?
I’m not very good at marketing myself or sending cold emails, but is that something that I need to get good at?
Thank y’all in advance

For the third time in four years, I have been laid off!
All three times have been due to circumstances outside of my control. I’m in tech so it’s cool now to do layoffs and then hire people for less.
Given my experience and how I can lock in and focus, I typically finish all of my work about 50% faster than they are expecting me to. I also use templates and systems I’ve designed over the years. At the same time, I mentor others and help them so I have a good reputation. I’ve been working from home since 2016. I’m consistently a high performer - never had a write up, PIP, or complaint about my performance. This makes it a perfect formula for OE.
I have about two decades of experience in my field.
This time around instead of looking for one job that requires all of my experience, I was thinking of getting a job that requires 5 to 10 years of experience and pays less, then stacking another job like that on top of it. I would make most likely 10% more, but the work would be so easy for me. What it does for me, though is ensure that if I get laid off again, I have another job to rely on.
Has anyone tried this approach and how did it work out? Did you have to modify your resume? Did you just say that you had your own business for the last 20 years and worked several contracts or did you change your job titles or how did you make your resume believable? How can I do this without them knowing I have more experience and considering me a flight risk? Because honestly, I don’t care if I do a job that pays less if I have the job for a full year - technically I’m still making more than working half the year.
