>mfw burgers really are expensive

26 - working 2 jobs (pizza delivery and graveyard data entry) while I look for a tech-related job in my small town. I'll finish my Associates in information security in the Spring.

I've been turned down by two jobs so far for "technology specialist" positions. They were essentially helpdesk++ but the pay was spectacular for a small town ($26/hr+ and union).

I just interviewed today with a manufacturing company to replace their IT director knowing full well I don't have experience for anything beyond junior anything. That and the company (750 employees, multiple plants across the USA) have a single person managing all of the networking infrastructure and applications. It would be a massive fucking job and I'm not sure I even want it to be honest, but if some boomer was able to do it for 20+ years all on his own then I could probably do it too.

What advice do you have for me for this job and other entry IT jobs? I'm comfortable with networking, virtualization, Linux cli use, hardware assembling, and the most important part - I'm not a total sperg who can't talk to people. In fact I love talking to people.

120k working in Tokyo, actually a great wage here

That's insane for Japan. Japanese IT salaries are generally awful. Especially if not in Tokyo. I've seen sub 30k application dev jobs advertised.

and how much does it cost to live there? This is coming from a non-weeb.

24 here as a glorified support in faggioli italian corp basically I do every fucking bullshit task that the user doesnt know how to do. Been looking for any other it job for almost 2 years to escape this hellhole. Making $9k/yr. Depressing as fuck

I am trying to find a tech job I can do remotely. I have two small non school aged children I have become responsible for and that is why. I am currently studying for a Linux+ cert. What else should I look into? What would you do if you were me? I currently have a year to learn as much as I can without worrying about finding a job.

CEO of my own company.

0 euro starting. I need another couple months to get things running properly, so in the meantime I'm looking for a real job.

You can already do writing asignments for money on fiverr, hirewriters and iwriter in the meantime. It's not a real job, but if you are desperate for a little bit of cash. Until you find a real job.
