it's maybe a bit on the low side, sure, but you're just starting out bro
Eh...$35k/year (assuming full time) for a computer-adjacent job (IIRC?) isn't great. But in theory you should advance past that pretty fast. Don't be afraid to jump jobs, either.

That's the thing though, I'm not just starting out : /
My problem is that I have no more than 2 years experience in any one kind of IT job, I've been hopping between them (unix admin, help desk, desktop support, end of life support)
I dunno, I think about not taking it and then I my thoughts start to get really dark because I'm not even solvent to pay my credit card bills and rent anymore after this month
I turned down several much higher paying jobs because they were for very low rated companies on Indeed, short term contracts, or very long commutes. This job is under 40 minutes commute and it's consistently rated one of the top ten places to work in Illinois
Plus they're so keen on advancing me that they literally have a pile of certifications that I must get within the next year signed into my employment agreement (including a bonus for each one I complete) so they can promote me

If you haven't looked at the game that is the subject of today's PA strip...
on the one hand this pioneer sampler seems gimmicky
on the other hand my buddy got a promo demo to sample and loved it and dave smith's involved...
Are you talking about the DJ controller with the embedded 808?
dunno. he was telling me last week that he was really impressed with the new pioneer sampler, specifically its workflow and ease of use. octatracks are super powerful but creating / loading samples can be a headache, and i could use a really efficient sampler for sample playback

If you haven't graduated or just graduated you're "just starting out" for all intents and purposes in a single career field.
2 years isn't anything for help desk tbh. I get what you're saying though.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Its just a well made classic cereal. Like crispix.
I don't eat cereal often so I won't pretend I eat either of these more than really sickly sweet ones like fruity pebbles but when truly pressed I'd Def lean honey nut or even regular cheerios as amongst my favorites.
Crispix is God tier though. I actually haven't thought about them in a while... A by product of rarely having cereal is that when I do I wanna go all out like the aforementioned pebbles. But damn I could house a box of crispix right now.

You made the right choice. As long as the money is enough to cover your bills, the other stuff is what's going to make the job worthwhile. A company financially incentivizing you to learn more so they can promote you is a good company to be with.

They gave me an interview for one of their sys admin positions and I whiffed too many questions, so he said I'd have to get certifications (apparently it's a big deal for some status the company has with microsoft that X% of their people have a few certs like MCSE), and get more AD administration experience under my belt
I was like okay so I didnt get the job, then they called and gave me the help desk offer with a bunch of skills improvement milestones in the employment agreement
we are now in late september thus the best weather nyc gets
late sept / early oct
so perf

@override367 take comfort in the fact you have a job in your career field where they're willing to promote you and get you certified.
I didn't get an offer at the last job I interviewed for because I didn't know how to use a custom e-mail application the company developed and is not available outside their intranet. They brought me up for an interview then hired from within.
The one before that, I didn't have explicit work in certain types of SQL commands, even though they're extremely advanced and outside the job description.
Everywhere I look I don't have the experience outside of 3 years of university work and 5 years of military application, and apparently neither of those means shit.
Build your career and be happy you got hired at a good place.
My monthly expenses including insurance, rent, and bills right now are under $700, so after taxes that leaves me around $1400 a month to do whatever with (mostly pay off debt)

this company also has a one week all expenses paid vacation (valued around $5000) for all IT staff once per year, it does not subtract from PTO or paid vacation days

but crunchy and mildly nutty
there is actually no hfcs in them
but plenty of sugar..
So you'd move closer to the methane bubbles of death?
Wait the what now?
Are you talking about the DJ controller with the embedded 808?
Do to the HFCS backlash a lot of things that had HFCS are now moving back to sugar in the US. Its kind of interesting.
they have 47 come-from-behind wins and are now 36-10 in one run games
their run differential is +10, and they lead the AL West by 9.5 games
they are the poster child for regression to the mean, but they just won't regress. they keep winning games in come-from-behind victories by one run

Well, I guess Vancouver isn't as close as I thought to the permafrost.
But still.
The north is scary as f.
Ugh.
Still high-80s/low-90s here. "Fall weather" is mid/late-October into November for us.
We have had like 2 good days so far.
It keeps regressing back to summer and it is terrible.
I am done with heat indexes over 100 F.
Fuck that shit.
Give me 60's and 70's with 50's at night to open my windows to.
end of summer was cold and rainy, now september is summer. Madness.

Yeah. They ripped Overwatch the fuck off.

i'm assuming this is the one he was talking about
Hmm
Point
:C
but have you considered that the red sox are unstoppable
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
Man the mornings and evenings have been nice though.
this is why i specifically made sure any of the tattoo pics i posted were of arms
and none that involved sideboob
What if it was Peters sideboob?
that's pretty sweet

Kind of kawaii
Let's get a bunch of old DJ premier instrumentals and old Ann peebles records to sample
