New account 0 views right off the bat? Shadowbanned?

I had 2 account doing stock investment advice, 1 account I got shadow banned because I uploaded AI picture without putting the AI alert, immediately 0 views dead channel.

Just started a new account, using my face this time with picture overlays and got 113 views first video. Now straight 0 views on 3 videos.

Is shadow banned a thing? Does tiktok realize i have 3 other accounts?

Should I just keep uploading? I uploaded the 4 videos within 30 mins

Is my niche - stock investment a risky topic to do? I see other tiktokers doing tiktok videos on stocks etc.

How do you capture the great moment with someone you know is just temporary?

Often times in life we meet spactacular people, often times than most they just appear for a split second and then leave. Leaving a great impression on you for a lifetime.

How do you capture the moment, something so short like a 5 minute convo knowing you probably wont see them again.

Temporary pivot to Admin Assistant Field from IT, How to tailor resume / explain interview?

Temporary pivot to Admin Assistant Field from IT, How to tailor resume / explain interview?

Been applying to IT jobs since December, few interviews no job offers yet, going to pivot to Administrative in the mean time while looking for help desk.

How would I go about tailoring my resume, all my previous roles are "IT Support / Tech" related, would it be wise to just change the role title so its not IT and more customer service / admin?

Also people who did temp. pivot how do you explain a career change from IT to administrative? I don't want it to seem like its going to be a temp job, until I can get into IT.

But the IT field is really bad. I'm seeing no help desk jobs or support jobs. If there are any theres +100 applicants in an hour.

What suburb gives you a unique feel you can’t explain?

What suburb gives you a unique feel you can’t explain?

For me it’s the area inbetween park ridge and Mt prospect. Something about the area just seems untouched by the modern world.

Like some parts are vintage like old business down north west highway or when you pass the woods and drive down Algonquin RD the whole neighborhood gives a different vibe.

As your going to MT prospect or Elk Grove village you run over the tracks by the ace hardware and pet store and the whole neighborhood is just different. Like everything is still old and it’s the out skirts from the woods and major suburb towns. (Downtown mt prospect, downtown park ridge)

Then if continue down and reach the Mt. View adventure golf course and skatepark it’s like your straight in the early 50s America. Old vintage fast food restaurant on the corner Wolf Rd & E Algonquin RD. Whats even cooler is the batting cages and skatepark as the freight trains are roaring down w the old water tower in the distance.

Wise to interview for Tier 2 without Tier 1 experience?

Interview is an interview but would it be wise to interview for a level 2 IT technician if you never worked level 1? Does school experience and projects justify working level 2?

Should I make that clear in the interview - have junior level experience?

HR is interested but I guess when it comes to system admin or IT manager interview the barrier would show?

Why risk a rise to 2300+ when SNDK already ran 3400% in a year?

Just exited my position for SNDK, while the hype is contagious...is the risk to reward still there for you? if the stock runs back to 2300+ At best you can 43% gains at 2300 if you buy right now or 87% at 3000, but how much pressure would there be on the stock to accept those levels?

If you didn't get in early this could be a time to exit and move on. DRAM took a huge hit anyone who was buying in within the last 2 months lost profits.

I think $MU might be a better investment than SNDK just based off the charts

Would like to know thoughts, if your still going to chase SNDK at those higher levels?

I bought in MU and SNDK very early last year but didn't go all in so I'm not losing as much as some people but the only argument I hear is memory is in high demand till 2027/2028. - I just think pressure is building to take profit and move on to better opportunities. Like when FOMO gets bad in these names people take profits and move on.

Eying $RAM, could that be the next great ETF?

Was doing some newly released ETF screening and saw $RAM a "Roundhill T-REX 2X Long DRAM Daily Target ETF", thing is it hasn't popped off yet, barely even moved with price action.

Is this because not many people know about it yet? I know this adds extreme risk with it being a 2X long, and we're kinda midway through the ram cycle.

Also rumors has it Samsung might take on MU/SNDK which could tank the market.

Thoughts?

What makes software valuable? The coding aspect or the amount of customers?

Building a trading SaaS application for the last few weeks.

Right now I have a cloud server, python server and html file. I think probably 2000/3000-5000 lines of code. Many features that my application offers.

Of course there are bigger sharks comparing my application to theirs.

I have no customers right now, not even charging for my website.

But my question is... What makes SaaS company valuable?

Is it the features a code offers, customers, traffic?

For example: A rival big company that is similar to mine is "Finviz" the stock screener. They are completely free to use but you can pay. Another is barchart I checked how much traffic they have and they have millions of visitors per day, free to use but they lock the site after you view 20 webpages.

I know some companies get bought out before they go public just because of the wow factor, my project isn't anything special but whats something I can do to make it more unique?

More features, charge users, make it different from others?

This is my first software project new to the field. Sorry if this question is a basic business question might sound dumb to some pros.

How to host a python server for free and/or cheap?

Looking to host a python server on a host server, how would I go about doing this?

I looked up a few websites but couldn't find anything reliable?

Do the python server i'm hosting require alot of compute power, because when I was researching nothing was free?

When applying on company websites, what do you exactly search for?

Job Boards just aren't doing it for me, trying to apply on company websites, but I don't know where to look?

The only solution I have is searching "IT companies" on google maps on mass clicking them to check careers page.

Any other work around?

API that gives FREE access to stock market?

Looking for a website, code or API that gives free unlimited access to stock market data.

One that I can tap into using code and search.

I know finviz has API but your can't use it to search, just export the data.

Also finnhub I think.

Anything else that provides data like:

I want to be able to search a stock and have it spit out that data fast/ instant.

I was using Anthropic code but it takes FOREVER to filter that data

Software engineers, things to focus on or mention during interview?

I have my first software engineer interview but I have help desk experience. Different field knowledge but same approach to IT problem solving.

Is there anything I should focus on during the interview? Like more coding based and problem solving approach?

First software engineer interview but help desk experience… what to focus on?

B.S. degree in CS and networking. For the last year been building my resume up with labs and projects w Active Directory, user and password resets. Have a few projects on hardware pc building. Few projects on pc improvements.
Nothing at all software related.

I do have coding experience w CSS and HTML.

I applied to a software company that’s 5 minutes from my house and they want an interview. I’m surprised because nothing on my resume is software related. Rather an outline of IT support, networking and virtualization.

Is there anything I should focus on during the interview? Like a different approach software engineers use compared to help desk?

Pay is better than help desk by a long shot.
I’m also new to software engineering and I was told from another reddit post take the software path and not help desk because it looks better on a resume.

LinkedIn is a platform full of scammers

Two things made me realize LinkedIn is full of scammers and it actually makes the whole platform one big risk.

  1. Posted an internship posting awhile ago and kept getting random phone calls from people offering their service, when the time came they layout their pricing.

Why call me to offer services on my personal phone number when you have my email or LinkedIn info.

  1. Fake job postings. Today just did an interview over MS teams and I believe it’s a scam. Fake email addresses from company and interview was over text. I DMd the company to confirm if the job was legit, waiting on reply. During the interview they asked if I had a printer and scanner. AI advised they might send a fake check for equipment and have me deposit it.

Under job postings it’s just talent agencies and DICE job postings. Just for them to spam your email.

Now my email is getting spammed by unsolicited job postings from random recruiters.

LinkedIn if your new is a risk and someone can easily get your info and scam you if your not careful

Software Engineer or Help desk?

I’ve been building my skills and resume up for help desk. I always wanted to solve problems and do password resets. Along w virtualization. I built my resume up w projects w AD, VMWARE & Azure.

Recent I applied to a software engineer job 5 mins away from my house and they want an interview, pay is better than help desk.

Thing is I have 0 experience w software besides troubleshooting and a few languages under my belt.

Was reading reddit and people say software engineers are gonna get replaced w AI and the jobs r even harder to come across than Help desk.

My goal is to do help desk then move to system admin. But software engineers I know do get paid more.

Should I do the interview and start my career w software engineering or stay in help desk and move to system admin?

Hello, looking for tips on how I can improve my gecko substrate. I just redid the substrate and one thing I know I already did wrong was the bedding isnt deep enough, I was told 4 inches deep.

My gecko is a little under a year old, debatable an adult, I'm at a 30 gallon tank right now, I got alot of backlash on tiktok w a 30 gallon tank w an adult gecko.

Should I get 40 or play it safe w 50?

I have 3 hiding spots.

- Log under the jungle area
