What are you actually doing at your job? I'd love to be paid to just write sql all day but the problem is they expect every "database programmer" to write shitty dot net core web apps and frontend bullshit and documentation and 90 page fucking explanations of HOW you're going to do something you've never fucking done and didn't sign up for, shit like that

Unfortunately you're gonna get filtered. Because of the WFH/hybrid schedule HR now gets thousands more resumes. Unless you know a manager who can vouch for you I doubt you'll get in with an associates. Why do you wanna move though? Isn't cyber security a big growing career path now

I've been doing this for 3 years now. Read like 50 Wiley / Packt books. Picked up the skills. Problem is that you can't put "I read textbooks" on your resume. I've picked up so many skills that I have trouble fitting them in and moulding them towards each specific job. Learning more in your free time is good, OP. Just remember that when you start to learn more than your peers you become less like them. This will lead you to questioning every task you are asked to accomplish and you will yearn for brainiac tasks. Then you realize those brainiac tasks all require qualifications that leftist institutions provide. I just signed up for a degree recently and now I have to suffer listening to lectures about socialism from professors who are compromised and have control over my GPA. I have to write bullshit essays about the plight of the average working person and lie about their struggles. Then I came to a realization... The world needs people who do not learn in their free time. In fact, the vast majority of humans exist solely to serve the small minority. Humans are nothing more than tools of other humans. This is life. Keep learning but remember it comes at a cost. It costs your soul. You have to live with the choice you make to learn. The real test for a person comes when they realize this and if they are able to fly under the radar without making these insolent posts on an anonymous basket weaving forum bragging about the fact they learned what a database is and now they make $79k which was worth $55k only 13 years ago in 2010 or $4.4k in 1923. When you yourself come to this realization, what will you do OP? Will you go mental? Yes. It's all about what you do to ensure that others don't know what skills you hold, it's about what you do in silence. I am just getting there. Good luck.

that's why you need to create projects on your own applying what you learned and then show them those, retard.

Lol. I cleared a quarter million last year. I'm doing fine for myself. That's not the point I was making. Doesn't matter what projects you have, or how many landing pages you can make. It's about knowing to who, where, when and how. Not what. Learn how to delegate, not do.

Physical books are the best. Coding books are probably the one category I wouldn't buy though because the shit goes out of date fast, plus half the text in them is literally just code so I feel retarded as fuck whenever I'm flipping through pages of c++ or whatever.
