I have an interview with them for a data center technician role, this would be my first time doing something in the data center industry so I’m grateful to have the opportunity, however looking at this companies reviews it seems like a meat grinder, you go, withstand as much as you can and leave with whatever sanity you have left. Most of the reviews came from Arizona and Alabama. I haven’t seen any for my location, Memphis.

I know anyone can leave reviews and some people are very disgruntled so they’ll say things about a company but the bunk of the reviews are like that I start to wonder and get worried. Has anyone worked for them before? If so how was it?

I’ve been enjoying DW8XL and now I have that itch to play some more! I’ve played PW4, Warrior orochi 3, DW7XL and Dynasty Warriors Origins. If yall have any more recommendations I’m all ears!

P.S: What’s with Lu Bu being the big bad in almost every game?

I know this is a wild thing to think about but I’ve been taking smiting classes in my free time and I love it, I love it so much in fact that I want to become a blacksmith. I’m currently working in IT and I’m
going to school to become an accountant, I do like working with my hands and during the classes I felt like something clicked, I enjoyed it for the craft not the novelty of it.

Living in Memphis we have the metal museum one of the very places in the US where you can become a full time smith, they even offer internships and residency but from what I’ve heard these are extremely competitive and people from all over try to get in.

My question is this, how can I transition my hobby into my career? I live in an apartment so I can’t have a forge in my backyard (since I don’t have one lol) I feel like being a blacksmith could be the thing for me but it’s hard trying to figure the next steps. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

How’s the accounting field doing with all the changes to technology? I’m starting school in October at my local community college for accounting so I was thinking about the state of the field, is it doing well? I wanna make this into a career but I want to make sure that I’m making the right choice and going to be out of a job after college.

I started working part time as a bookkeeper so when I do get my degree hopefully it’ll make a difference. Any advice on the field? Any tips of going through classes and how’s the field in your opinion?

I need advice on how to lose weight I’ve been working out and trying to eat least but I eat when I’m bored/stressed so it’s been difficult to not eat for the sake of eating. I really want to lose this weight because frankly I hate looking at myself in a mirror and how bad I feel in clothes. It doesn’t help that my friends keep calling me “tank” and now I’m the designated “fat guy of the group “ which has been tanking my self esteem and making wanna eat more because I feel kinda worthless.

I didn’t mean to rant so if there’s any advice you all can give me I’ll greatly appreciate it

I’ve been In tech for about four years and my current role is as a solo tech (desktop/help desk support and junior system administrator). I don’t enjoy IT because I feel like it was forced upon me when I was younger and I kept reinforcing it because “I’m ok at it.” I know what I need to do to move up to higher level roles (getting certifications, degree and doing projects) but I don’t have the drive for it because I just don’t care enough.

I want to make a career change but before I jump ship and leave all this behind, am I being unreasonable? Should I suck it up and push through it or should I abandon IT and start fresh with someone that might make me happier?

Be honest with me, is it too late to start over at 25?
I know to some people this sounds ridiculous but to me I genuinely feel like I’ve already fucked up my life, I’m stuck working in tech because my mom convinced me to not follow my dreams and gaslight me every time I tried to. I’ve lost all drive after that and dealt with being in the field, I hate myself for not standing up for myself sooner because I feel stuck, I don’t have a degree and all my experience is in tech so going into something else is next to impossible it feels like in this job market.

I want to be an accountant which is so crazy thinking back on it. Why did my mom not want me to pursue that?? I keep asking myself that question but I still don’t know the answer to that question myself. I think it’s too late for me to start pursuing a degree in accounting. I’ve even tried to get entry level jobs in the field that requires a High school diploma like AP/AR roles but even those want experience.

I feel stuck, I truly do and I’m unhappy with what I’m doing and where I am in life. If yall have any advice for me, thank you I do appreciate it

I hope everyone is doing well! A little about me, I’ve been doing IT for 4 years(mainly help desk) this was never my plan, I wanted to be a neuropsychologist but covid happened and stopped that in its tracks and now at 25 me and my girlfriend live together so I can’t reason taking off the next 10+ years off work to study academia, that’s not fair to her to shoulder all that weight.

So I’ve been thinking “Is there something I can do that’ll have a blend what I like about psychology which is research and how people react to certain things” and I found out about UX, after doing research into it, I like the idea but I’m not sure if it’s a stable path to go down. The fact I get to do research and be creative with creating things for companies sounds wonderful.

Now we have IT, I’ve been doing it for 4 years I’m pretty confident in my skills and knowledge. I’ve done things outside of my scope such a configuring switches, setting up access points and replacing and troubleshooting zebra printers to name a few. The issue I’ve found is that the field is over saturated and my city(Memphis) doesn’t have a strong tech sector (the same can be said for UX but I’ve found a bit more here) so it makes it hard to move up and learn more tools since there’s no jobs here that’ll allow that. (Memphis has a lot of mid to senior level roles, we absorb talent we don’t create much of it, unless it’s logistics, aviation or nursing)

If I want to remain competitive in this hellish job market for tech, I need to get certs and a degree to even get looked it nowadays. I’m hesitant about it because I don’t know if I want to do tech or it’s because I’ve been doing it for so long that it became the path of least resistance since doing anything else requires me to pivot and start back at zero.

Any advice yall can give me is extremely valuable to me and I appreciate your time and effort reading this.
