James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:35 pmSpeaking of, I just launched a 2 run home run to start this game against the Dodgers
-
Caesar • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:15 pmMaybe they should've saved some of those runs for today
-
Caesar • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:15 pmNicholls won yesterday 10-2
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:15 pmYikes
-
Caesar • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:14 pmHttps://geauxcolonels.com/sidearmstats/baseball/summary I was debating going to this game
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:12 pmOh shit this job isn't in the actual shipyard, it's outside in one of the engineering buildings.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:07 pmThe other thing about the shipyard is that it's all super important stuff. When I was in the Navy I was always stressed about messing up. I don't carry that same stress day to day at the moment. So that will be a step back too.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:05 pmEverybody wants super specific qualifications and the market is so tough they can be picky about who they take
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:05 pmI don't really know how or it's possible in this market to make that transition to a different language.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:04 pmYeah, I'm good with anything software but yeah you are about the languages.
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:03 pmAnd business and software are different in the sense that they tend not to be as rigid about certs / specific languages
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:02 pmI also broadened my search a bit to not be so focused on just sports properties and look at adjacencies too
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:02 pmI feel like in my case it was just volume and I got lucky
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:02 pmI wish I had better advice
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:01 pmright
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:01 pmExcept those are all like "4 years in IT, with COMPTIA+ security certification" and what not
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:00 pmthe ideal situation would be an IT job at the shipyard tbh
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 2:00 pmIt's not leaving it behind but it does make it a tougher sell later
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:54 pmYeah I know, so it kind of feels like choosing to leave software behind
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:53 pmyea I'm ngl that is not an irrational risk
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:53 pmoh yeah I realize that
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:49 pmI don't do software because of the $$$, it's because I legitimately like writing code.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:49 pmThis is my big worry, that I switch to Electrical and I'm cooked and I can't go back.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:49 pmThe shipyard occasionally has software jobs pop up but more of them are IT related and want you have specific certifications.
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:48 pmNope, switching back to Electrical
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:48 pmis it still software
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:48 pmwhen u say engineering at the shipyard
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:48 pmi feel u
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:46 pmBut I can't magically just wait for one of my wife's companies to open up a role I fit, or hope that the other companies will take me on with no experience in the stack they use.
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:45 pmmaybe something comes out of that
-
Xixak • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:45 pmlike this path could work. Get a job to tide you over there, network with the companies that are local
-
James • Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:45 pmYup
