A 3rd party recruiter from this company called Smart IT Frame LLC reached out to me on LinkedIn about a role with this company called LTI Mindtree. I spoke on the phone with them earlier today and also got an email from them but my gut instinct tells me something is off.

For one, after I got off the phone with them, I received a message from the recruiter saying they could schedule my interview for the next day which seemed like things were moving too fast. Additionally, their email formatting felt off. Then I did additional research and heard that employees had delayed payments and that they use unethical onboarding methods as well.

I currently work a help desk role at a school district (been working in their tech department for about a year and couple months at this point) making 40.50/hr but I’m on a leave coverage contract for the company and my contract ends in a couple weeks. Once my contract ends, they’ll move me over to this “hourly tech” role but that only makes 23.50/hr and is basically just cleaning Chromebooks and inspecting them for damage. One of the help desk employees is planning on retiring in June of next yr so my plan is to hold out until then and apply for his role. But I’m really don’t want to hold out that long especially since there’s no guarantee so I’m trying to make a quick escape and find jobs elsewhere.

Anyone else think LTI Mindtree is a scam?

Idk if it’s just me or if other people have gone thru this but my heart feels no longer in it when I work out. I still work out about 3-4 times a week (been slacking this month since I was on a bday vaca in PR) but now going to the gym feels like a chore I try to rush through. I started seriously working out in early 2021 but I started noticing this feeling around September of last year after I landed my first full time big boy job post graduation. That 9-5 (or 8:30-5 in my case) lifestyle really demotivates you. How do yall push through this feeling? Any advice helps.

Hey everyone, I’m fairly new to the IT job field (about 1 year of experience) and have also been volunteering at this local nonprofit as IT Support on the side outside of my main help desk job. The President of the nonprofit has tasked me with finding a good firewall for them to use and I have no idea where to start.

For additional context, the nonprofit is very small (less than 10 people), they have hybrid work, and right now I’m the only IT person they have (they’ve been using a rotating cycle of volunteers). I do not know how to configure a firewall whatsoever so recommendations, as well as advice on how to configure and implement it would be much appreciated!

Personally, I’ve had a positive/indifferent reaction from people when starting my locs. I’m only 8 months into my journey but most of my black homies and peers have complimented me while nonblack people in my life have mainly been mute/unvocal bout my locs. How has your individual experience been tho? (Also black women can share as well, I’m just more interested in the male experience since I’m a guy myself)

I currently do tech support for a school district but have been keeping my options open and saw an opening as a fiber technician. I definitely want to upskill with networking and increase my income so I’m curious on what experiences people have working that type of job. Also what career paths can come from being a fiber technician? Can it lead to networking jobs/roles? The end goal is getting into cybersecurity so getting into a networking role or a sysadmin role is my next goal

What’s up everyone, as someone who recently graduated with a degree in cybersecurity, I’ve always wondered how the music industry uses and views cybersecurity? So many artists of varying size have music leaks, especially in the hip hop world. Albums worth of leaks (Kanye, Carti, etc).

As unrealistic as it sounds, working as part of a record labels cybersecurity team for an artist always seemed like a really fun idea but I’m moreso just curious on how yall use or implement it? Or how record labels go about it.

Hello everyone, I’m fairly early into my IT career (about 10ish months) and work as tech support for a school district while also doing volunteer IT support on the side for a non profit. Our nonprofit team is small at the moment (about 5 of us) but we’re looking to expand. That being said, I’m the sole IT guy and just started volunteering there recently.

One of my task for the week is looking into security software that would be best for our team. They use Lenovo laptops (we use Windows OS) and I would want to hear suggestions, recommendations and other ideas from yall over here. Thanks

Hey everyone, long story short, I(24M) decided to quit porn since I was having ED issues with my partner that started in March. This is a new occurrence for me. I’m currently 18 days deep into the journey.

That being said, I’ve noticed that my ED has been inconsistent now. Like some days I get boners and can have great sex with my partner and other days my erections are either weak or nonexistent. For example, last Saturday morning, I woke up horny and we had sex but I couldn’t get an erection later in the day or even the next day on Sunday when she was very eager (I was looking forward to it as well). The ED issues in March has caused me to overcheck and analyze my penis to see if I can get erections before my gf visits so I’m ready for sex. I’ve done this by edging to either her nudes or our sex tapes or using my imagination. Whenever I’m about to anticipate sex (like if my partner flirts with me/makes a sexual remark/or gets touchy) i get heart palpitations, which basically kills whatever erection/horniness I had. Even though I want sex, this issue has been making me uneasy about intimacy in fear of letting her down and making her insecure (i do offer to go down on her whenever these issues occur though, she’s also been very supportive of me while i fix these issues). Not only that, but even when I’m alone, my urge to masturbate has decreased a lot lately along with my overall horniness.

I’ve also been feeling more fatigued/tired lately due to bad sleep and tend to overthink/be in my head a lot so that could also play a role. But overall, I have no idea if this is an anxiety issue, a flatline issue from the lack of porn/masturbating or both? Anyone got any advice, tips or recommendations? I’ve been using ashwagandha inconsistently for about a month and been in regular therapy right now for about a month and a half.
