I had not thought of the w2 vs 1099 thing but I will bring that up to them.
Hands down the experience in that environment is what’s attracting me the most of everything other than the pay raise.

Yeah the recruiter mis communicated it. But the company itself brought it up first thing in the interview before. I actually interviewed last month but was scared of the contract . Now they reached out to me again and I figured I’d at least take th interview as practice.
After thinking and looking at my finances I could prolly be safe if the contract ends quickly.

I see, that honestly sounds like a pretty natural way get into IT. I have basically had a computer since I was in kindergarten and one parent had a MacBook while I had a windows computer. I am thankful for that because I’ve noticed that I’ve always been a bit more savvy than average people. Hearing stories like yours definitely makes me confident that I can still get really far without a CS degree.
Thankfully I’ve kept in good touch with all my past colleagues so hopefully it will work for me like it did with you.
I’ve been looking into forming a team with my friend who is also in IT. While they may not go on a resume, I was considering putting them on a personal portfolio website.
How’d you get into IT? I feel like my path into computer work has been a bit unorthodox. I have a political science degree but no college experience with cs just otj experience. It feels like having my background definitely helps on the soft skills just may be a bit of hindrance compared to those with cs degrees.
That’s a bit of my thought maybe just get the big three and then practice more practical skills for a while. I’ll definitely have to convince my boys to pay for some of those certs the net+ does translate a ton into my current position.
The homelab will have to wait until I settle in to my new place with an office.
Yeah that’s kind of what I have been doing, I have been trying to do things focused on networking and trying to understand cinema servers since many use a form of Linux. Though Microsoft skills always seem to be some of the most popular
