Hey guys, I've been an "IT manager" for a small agency for a couple years now and cannot find a better position to get out. It's more of a solo IT person job now, where I report to the CIO alongside another manager who handles infrastructure. I used to manage junior contractors but with cuts it’s just me. Aside from that, every 3-6 months we have a scare we are going to be shut down and lose our jobs.

I've tried using AI to help rewrite my resume to try and find a better opportunity but doesn't seem to have helped in getting more interviews. The interviews I feel I do well in, I don't hear back. The ones I feel I did badly, I get low balled so even though I want to take the position I cannot due to financial responsibilities. The positions I've been applying to are IT Manager, IT Lead, and some cybersecurity positions but no luck.

I know the market is bad for IT in general but wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with another strategy. The longer I stay here the less technical I feel I become. I am trying to do some home labs to learn just because at work we don't have access to a lot of tools. I don’t have my bachelor’s degree yet, was hoping to go back for it next year but have heard that might not help get a better job but is good to have completed. I know it’s worse for others, thankfully I am still employed for now. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Update: Hey all thank you for the advice. Got lots of useful info I will try to implement and get it updated this week. If I can post an updated resume after I will with the results. Appreciate you kind folks.

Most people who followed $CYDY remember March 30, 2021. The FDA publicly stated that CytoDyn's claims about leronlimab were "misleading and not supported by the data", no benefit was shown in COVID-19 treatment trials. The stock dropped 25%+ that day.

What happened afterward was a class action lawsuit covering investors who held $CYDY between March 27, 2020 and March 30, 2022.

A $500,000 settlement has been reached and terms are now submitted to the court for approval.

Who qualifies?

Anyone who held $CYDY during the class period and suffered losses from the alleged misrepresentations about leronlimab's effectiveness for HIV and COVID-19.

Can I still apply?

Yes, you can submit your application now and it will be processed once claims filing officially opens after court approval.

If you were damaged by this don't forget to check your eligibility. GL!

Hey guys, if you missed it, Rivian settled $250 million with investors over claims that it failed to disclose the true cost of producing its vehicles. And, I just found out that they’re accepting claims even though the deadline has passed.

Quick recap: In 2022, Rivian was accused of misleading investors about its vehicle pricing and production costs. In short, the company promoted its R1T pickup and R1S SUV as competitively priced electric vehicles, but investors later alleged that Rivian was losing substantial amounts of money on each vehicle sold and failed to clearly disclose how severe the cost gap was. As supply-chain issues and material costs increased, Rivian announced major price hikes that sparked customer backlash and raised concerns about the company’s financial outlook.

Now, the good news is that the company agreed to settle $250 million with them, and even though the deadline has passed recently, they’re accepting late claims.

So, if you invested in $RIVN when all of this happened, you can still check the details and file your claim here.

Anyway, has anyone here invested in $RIVN at that time? How much were your losses, if so?
