At first I thought the hands thing was a badge for a con of some sort and I was like β€œthat’s so sick” then I realized it wasn’t a bad and was like β€œdon’t know what it is, but it’s still sick!”

I think my favorite part of the Prince version is watching Tom Petty be like β€œalright man, solo over? Oh, no? Alright. What about now? No still. Damn, alright” for about 10 mins straight lol

Germany sends troops to Greenland.

Germany has seen this movie before.

They played the bad guys then.

They want a different role in the sequel.

I'm in a state that cannabis is illegal but from what I gather, there's no amount of weed that can make the current political climate leave your mind, even briefly. I don't think we were meant to ingest this type of info barrage.

The reason the good faith seniors on here are posting that the junior / mid level market is bad (it is) is because we have watched it crash in real time and a lotta of us are dealing with serious fallout as both hiring managers or mentors.
It's genuinely a good faith warning. It's not like, "don't get into the field we love". It's just that for a really long time you could get into cybersecurity with no degree and no IT experience because the demand was so high. And schools, influencers, and parents still play it off that it's like that. That people can work full time remote and make 80k entry salary.
It's not. It hasn't been for a couple years. We've been hit by "professionalizing" and oversaturation of graduates. Can you still get in with a sec+, a kali box and a dream? Maybe, if you really meet the right people and get lucky.
Pragmatically though, that won't be the case for 99.9% of young people now, and if we care at all we need to counter the "everything is rosy" message people are using to sell boot camps. We are getting hundreds of cybersecurity grads and laid off professionals with work rights applying for positions.
How can organizations even take the time to look beyond that at hundreds more juniors with no degree, criminal convictions, a GED, needing a' v sponsor, etc?

You really need to take it seriously and make yourself a top candidate. And these days to be competitive you typically need a bachelors, certs, and some hands on IT work experience. You need a very good professional network.
That's not true of every case. People will get lucky.
Or they'll have a security clearance or live in the right remote place for an in person only job. It happens.
Not often. The best thing we can do is try to enforce that they need to work seriously hard and have solid professional credentials.
TLDR we aren't all assholes; some of us are trying to save 20yos from falling for Uncle Bob putting them in a bootcamp to make an easy six figures.

Great thoughts on a very bleak job market. For myself, the professional network has paid dividends time and time again. You could have all the skills/experience in the world but if no one knows it because you're not out there, you're going to get overlooked by default.

TL;DR - make friends!

I'm just sitting here, trying to figure out how to threat model for armed, masked thugs who may kidnap you off the street, then steal, and possibly sell your phone.

While the above is yours truly goofing around, something that is very serious is the joy i find in following that account. Every now and again really interesting registers will come across the wire, its worth a follow!

Find one of the local places that does office liquidations and buy a Herman Miller or Steelcase for a fraction of the price.

I bought a Steelcase Leap a few years back for $60 that was still in fantastic condition.

Was waiting in line to buy donuts for a couple of kids who couldn’t afford them and then saw my neighbor had the same idea and their faces LIT UP when he handed them the bag. There are good people everywhere, this is the world I’m fighting for. Where people share donuts.

TAPPER: β€œYou called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist" shortly after. Why did you not wait?”

@KristiNoem: β€œEverything I've said has been proven to be factual.” πŸ€₯
