do you get callbacks on your resume? honestly I only have A+ and Net+ and no degree, but I've had a few interviews for tier 1. no job yet, but have another interview next week.
I'm wondering if HR is just skipping over you because you don't have dummy entry level certs, despite being overqualified.

currently working as an admin assistant, with dreams to one day achieve the lofty heights of assistant department manager. Would it be worth changing careers into IT at this point even if I have no prior experience and don't really know much about computers other than software like excel and websites that sort of thing? Or should I stay in admin?

In 18 months of being eligible for 401k I already have about $60k in it. Hoping in the next year or so I can get to the point that I'm making $100 in salary alone. After that I'd like $100k post tax in salary alone, at that point I'm set money wise really.

I can confirm what other people have said; there are web developers out there who are totally clueless. They unironically know nothing. Some of our web hosting clients will hire a freelance developer sometimes who programmes like I do, which is to say, utterly incompetently. One guy- one PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE DEVELOPER- asked us where he could find his .htaccess file. I was seething for the rest of the day over the thought that he might get paid more than I do.

>Data Analyst
>$75k
Im miserable. Im thinking about trying to get a Date Science/Engineer job.
If youre still here, how do you like youre job?
I love it. It's pretty much what I envisioned what I'd want to do out of college.
Would I be able to get a job lile that with only Data Analyst experience?
I know a shit ton of SQL and ive dabbled with SSIS. Also starting to learn python.
What I do is a bit more operations/development related, but maybe. Data engineer, just like most titles in the industry are overloaded. For me I work with large scale data pipelines oriented around kafka, ELK, using kubernetes, bunch of custom stuff written in Python all over the place and whatnot.
I feel like if you're somewhat familiar with SQL and/or some sort of NoSQL DB you'd be prime for a junior position, or maybe mid if you have complementary experience and find the right company willing to take you on. For the record I know only very basic SQL. Knowing how to program and/or automate away issues will go a long way.
I'd take what I say with a grain of salt because I'm still young in the industry as well.
Thanks for the input. Im thinking of doing the stuff on Dataquest.io to learn and build a portfolio. Might lean toward Data Science but I suck at math.
Do the juniors make decent money?
Seems decent.
>Do the juniors make decent money?
This will depend entirely on where you are and what company picks you up. When I was an intern/junior I got paid pretty decently (32/hr as intern, $65k/yr with all the additional bonuses, profit sharing, 401k match etc as junior).

>How exactly are you evading 8570 req's?
user, it's an entry level verification position. I didn't even know that was required. I didn't anything like that on my resume, and certainly didn't mention it during the interview. I just told them I was in the process of completing my degree in information systems. They seemed to like that because they wanted someone they could train to do the "grunt work" their own way, as opposed to having to change the way someone else has been taught to do it at another company.
> Or is this internal to that company/not govt contracting?
It's a private company contracting for the department of defense. They want to hire me on for a new contract they just acquired.
