you have to risk
what do you do
Taking risks in life when it comes to advancement and becoming more successful is a white trait
without doxxing myself too hard I do SP administration and a bit of architecture for a small business that has a lot of outside clients looking for applications to be built in SP and to have their SP servers managed. I also do SP migrations and site building for public and team sites. do some custom dev stuff as well, like using snippets to insert breadcrums into SP2013, for example. I work with SP designer a bit, deal with Nintex, a bit of BI , IIS, and custom search.
@Gray to answer "what do you do"
ok
so maybe you should delve a bit deeper into BI
I've been interested in doing that
I mean should I just get a 4 year
no
you have over 4 years of pure experience
take that and run with it
the experience you have trumps a degree
If I'm going to be honest with you, I know you're saying that but it's incredibly difficult
The risk for you would be to focus on what you are truly interested in and try to integrate it
I have had so many jobs lined up, passed all of their interviews, been the best candidate, and then been told "unfortunately because of your lack of a degree we have to pass, it's a strict requirement"
there was a position for the parent company of Phillip Morris that was for a SP/365 admin that was open for 9 months when I was contacted by a recrruiter and I was told several times "holy shit you're perfect for this job" over and over by several different people
everyone who interviewed me or spoke to me assured me "there is no way you won't recieve this position, your experience is exactly what we need"
and then at the end of all the process I was told by the actual hiring supervisor that they had a company policy of not hiring people without college degrees because "college teaches an important way of thinking critically"
if that's the case find the cheapest easiest way to knock out the rest of your degree from a decent enough school
ok
so
what I said was integrate
the goal is to use the position you are already in to make yourself a living god
Even so in a position that wouldn't be netting me 90k with an excellent 401k and benefits, such as the positions you have open for tier one desktop, I am usually turned down. I present myself well, I am fit, I am well spoken, etc. but I lack a degree. I am unsure of how to move forward.
>convo finally refollows you on twitter shortly after you RT a dumb anime meme
What's convo's twitter account? @northern_confederate
right, I feel like that's a very vague answer, despite it, I appreciate the advice, please do not take my query for more specification as unappreciation.
bro
not trying to be vague
like for me, my goal was to own my own consultancy
I worked contract after contract
doing netsec shit
I was most interested in physical pentesting
and the place I was working at prior to building my company was an Airline
I introduced physical pentesting to them after pushing them for months that I could walk around without being challenged
on an active airport
My director didnt listen
