I just wanted to give everyone here an update from the last post I made regarding a call back I got for an interview.

Today I got a job offer starting at 55k plus benefits (unfortunately it’s a bit lower than the original listing at 65k I thought it was gonna be around 70k)

This is my first ever tech job. Junior cyber security analyst for a local outpatient healthcare clinic.

Junior in college.

Hey all! So I’m debating if I should go for a second bachelors degree.

I see a a lot of job listings for software development roles stating CS/SWE/ related tech degree.

Does having a Cyber/IT degree hurt my chances of getting a developer job? I know there’s a lot of nuances to this, but I wanted to also make something clear. The cyber/IT degree can vary greatly from school to school so from my personal path, these are the classes:

My degree focused on half Networking/Security/System Administration tools like active directory etc.
the other half was
data structures / algorithms/ operating systems / discrete math / Web development and security/ Databases. The programming languags included C, assembly, python, powershell , html , css , JavaScript, MYSql, Sql.
Would I have an opportunity to get a software development job?

And of course, I know that it could depend on the specific developer job and what is required but generally speaking do you think it’s possible or do you think I should make the jump to a second bachelors degree in swe/cs?

\*\*for developer jobs I’m most interested in
Mobile app development like iPhone or android, web development, security, networking , OS stuff , desktop apps, working on games but not building the physics engine or game engine.

I’m not interested in AI or machine learning either.

Hi all,
I was curious if anyone who took survey of calculus as I’m planning to take it in the fall. I was hoping someone could let me know how the class is. What do you recommend to prepare?

Did you do it in person or online?

Who did you take it with and I was wondering if anyone had a syllabus they could share that would be really helpful

TLDR: i’ll be going to school full-time. I might be getting a job, but it’s full-time as well. Should I take the job for the experience for my résumé as a first tech job or should I stick to the part time tech job that pays about 15k a year so I can focus on school easier. I don’t wanna leave school, but I need tech experience

Hi all, I just graduated with my associates degree in May. Set the time I’ve been revising my résumé still working on it to be honest, and thinking about future steps.

I’ll be starting my junior year college at the end of this month and I’ll be going to school full-time. I’ve put in a bunch of applications and during that time, I decided I’ll put in applications even to jobs that I thought we were out of my scope as a beginner that never worked in tech.

I applied for a security engineer position starting pay was 90k plus benefits and 20 minute commute. Out of all the jobs I’ve applied to this is one of the few that I’ve got a call back on while getting rejected from jobs that were like under $$20 an hour which I thought was funny.

So I got a call and the woman on the phone said the hiring managers loved my résumé and they wanted to do an interview with me. It’ll be multiple interviews so if things go good, I’ll have a second interview at least.

They said, based on my experience, they think I would be a good fit for the junior cyber security analyst position. They just opened. Starting at around 70 K a year.

My problem:

I’ll be going to school full-time and I still wanna finish my bachelors degree because I think in the longer it will greatly help but I also don’t want to miss this potential opportunity if I get it because it would be huge for my résumé, this would be my first ever tech job by the way and of course the money because it’ll be the most I’ve ever made.

The other thing is a few friends from school have referred me to positions at their jobs. One of them is a part-time position I’ll be making no more than about 15 K a year but it’ll be for experience and it’s only part-time for our local town.

What should I do honestly

Hi,
I just recently built a new computer for the purposes of mainly gaming and some schoolwork/multimedia stuff.

I installed Windows 10 because I preferred over a Windows11.

So all this is pertaining to Windows 10 only

How can I obtain the security patches?
As far as I’m aware, IOT LTSC supports patches up until 2031 I think

Should I get windows 10 LTSC or IOT LTSC

Also on my old computer, I have a license key from way back when I bought Windows 8 retail it’s tied to my Microsoft account, but when I log into my new computer with the Microsoft account, I can’t migrate the activation key when I say I changed hardware

Any help greatly appreciated

Hello! I’ve been researching about the different type of tech degrees most schools offer. I see people all the time mention how a CS degree is the best and if you can’t do that then a IT/ Information systems/MIS/ the other variants degree is the next best choice with a cyber degree being last because you need to learn IT first. Well I agree but what specifically in an IT degree do you learn that a cyber degree won’t offer?

In my cyber degree I feel like we touched on a lot of “IT” things like:

I just recently finished CC with an Associates in cybersecurity. The course work was heavily based on networking Active Directory/general sysadmin stuff, some scripting in python/Bash/powershell, and finally some security focused classes.

I’m transferring to a 4 year school to finish a bachelors.

The BS will probably be in cybersecurity but the track I’m picking will have the classic CS classes like data structures, discrete math/algorithms, operating systems, along with some classes based on reverse engineering malware mainly using C, assembly and python as the languages.

My whole point is with the classes I mentioned above should I really focus on an IT degree over a cyber security degree, or does the specific name on the degree not matter so much as long as you have the necessary skills and experience, which I know is very important a degree alone won’t be enough.

Do you really think those other degrees (Computer science, IT) are much more valuable even with the classes I need to take?

Hello,
I’m looking to take calculus one as a non-degree seeking student at UMGC and transferring it to my Home university.
I’ve read some things about UMGC, but I would like some clarification.

Even though the courses are eight weeks long, do they feel manageable? how do they do Math assignments are there test and quizzes? Discussion posts?

Is there proctoring?
How difficult is this class?

Also I plan on transferring in pre-calculus from Sophia learning
