I was just telling a friend about you last week when he told me about symone. I was like naw bro, tamika been talking a out tech for a long time I met her in Eric coffie group, she just doesn't have a big channel because she doesn't use any of their marketing tactics. But tamila was the one who got me looking at tech. You been talking about govtech way before it got popular.
@@deebeautiful84 i believe so. I haven’t been on Discord in quite some time but this was probably 9 months ago. She went into how much she was earning, taxes, important Linux topics, government contracting, etc. Like so much information. It’s all in the messages if you scroll back. Now, you had to pay for Anton Daniel’s Patreon to get the Discord link ($15 a month) but they didn’t kick me out the Discord after I unsubscribed from the Patreon. So you might have to drop that $15 to get in there.
@@edwardv4546appreciate it just put me out might get into the patreon I watch Anton daniels millionaire morning show all the time and hear him talking about it
This was one of the best episodes of this segment that I’ve seen. I got my first job in tech as a Linux System Admin a month ago, I have my RHCSA and going for my RHCE cert in 2 weeks! I’m super excited to attend GovTech Con in December to hear more conversations like this and to just network with folks in this field. It’s really crazy thinking about how my future about to change for the better lol. Thanks for this episode Tamika and Beez ✊🏾. See yall in December!
As an Executive Director of an IT organization supporting corproate functions it's awesome to see this platform and recognize the talent that exists in supporting systems, infrastructure and platforms within IT. Keep Moving Forward!
Back in 2006 getting out the military and taking a CCNA class, I saw how no one wanted to share information. The gatekeeping was heavy. That’s how I gave up back then…shame. But I’m on it now.
Girl, this should be tonights homework! I think it is such an amazing reality check, to help those who are just chasing the check, versus understanding the reality of how to obtain it in this field. Such a great watch, thank you! See you tonight!
This was a great Tech conversation. I feel inspired and fueled to complete my Comptia Security+ exam in December! Not only did I learn about technical career pathways but also about benifit options. Thank you both🎉
This was one of most inspiring and educational discussion i have come across. I like the way Symoné asked the questions and the responses were great. Great team work, they have understood the industry very well. Even Toastmasters was present.It wasn't just a Tech discussion but it is a leadership roadmap. Thank you Tameika and Symoné.
@@melissawhatmelywore26UMGC is my choice for Linux+. I recently passed Security+ in May 2024. It seems we're on the same path. Keep pushing forward, Melissa. I'm exploring the IAM field.
Thank you Beez and Ms/Mrs.Reed this video is validation for me to keep going with my CCNA. I failed the first time and it knocked me down.Thank you so much for the confidence to keep going.
…mad informative stream, mad appreciation for you Symone, got some insight for you and would love to have a one on one with you but this guest, Tameika Reed, was intuitive, knowledgeable and insightful regarding personal growth and development in Linux, Tech and skill building strategies…
Loved this podcast. I've been following the Linux path as well, going for the CompTIA Linux+ and plan to get the RHCSA later. I have a non-tech degree though and can't afford to go back for another degree. Can I still break in with just the certs and some projects?
A certification or two can help you get an interview, but experience will get you the job. Learn the basics of computer hardware and troubleshooting and get a Help Desk role to get the experience.
@BrittanyGates Do you think it's possible to gain enough experience through personal projects or part-time freelance work? Honestly, I can't afford a help desk salary with my current responsibilities. I was going for QA before I decided on the Linux route but may shift back to that if it's more financially feasible.
@JDMorris81 it's possible, but that's going to be dependent upon employers. Some will take technical projects and certifications in lieu of experience.
Wow, what an amazing podcast! Ms. Reed provided a wealth of knowledge about various subjects. I am inspired to continue on this path to Govtech. Thank you, Beez and Ms. Reed.
you are correct they can doesnt mean they have to offer it. Samsung Electronics' annual revenue for 2023 was 259 trillion. They dont offer their engineers 100k to 700k in salary. It would be nothing to them but they dont offer that.
Great interview, and thanks for both of you ladies for keeping it authentic 👊🏽.... It's a lot of fakers out here and will have going after the latest and hottest thing without really knowing. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
Aye! I had to stop watching so I could get someplace more quiet just to avoid missing a beat. My brother told me to learn Linux 15 years ago. Now I’m broke with 3 kids and he’s seemingly quietly wealthy getting that bread. It’s not too late though - I hope
This is dat good ish ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥 Love that yall spoke on getting the bag in tech then evolving to other things to continue the bag! This was needed .. Gracias ☺️
Not sure if it's uncharted territory. However, the elephant in the room is always the component of white supremacy. Pretty much all of these companies are owned and operated by white people. The reality is, they are not in the business of allowing their companies to become inundated with black people. The stats show this. B1.
Damn this was insightful. Makes me consider pivoting from Endpoint Security Engineer (MDE & HBSS) to Splunk Engineer (backend Red Hat). SITEC 3 FYSA and thanks y’all.
Thanks Los man what a throwback. I'm hoping that if I up the fps to 60 it stops the lag lol I think the FX30 quality is alot for the software to handle
I will take that but I will give you the how. Reading and applied knowledge, studying people, and understanding what people limits are so you can succeed.
This is dope! As someone trying to transition into the industry with a family of 4 amd I will like to hear from some folks who have families and how they navigated going to different places. Did they sacrifice and go alone or uproot their family? Do these companies pay for your entire fam to move housing and food?
Yes. You get relocation assistance. You can negotiate that. Not sure what you mean navigate different places. You have do research and visit places. That is on you and yours
@tam6011 Thanks... What I meant by navigate going to different places was how did they go about uprooting their families. What was the process like and how they went about it. That's all. Again thanks for responding
@QompleteFreedom well depends on the area. scouting the area and looking for schools, housing, and entertainment. Some jobs have real estate agents and people to help with that.
Hey Ladies so I’m currently studying for my Security+ certification along with my AZ-900 and MS-900. I’m having the hardest time narrowing down job titles! Any suggestions for a newbie? Would I be able to apply for a Cloud Practitioner role?
In a bit of a dilemma choosing between non technical GRC or technical, The one thing changing my mind towards now technical is i do not want to be live ops or on call and having to be constantly worried all the time or me or somebody fixing one thing and it breaks 3 other things and now you gotta come in to fix on be on call, also the stress of always competing and always having to know everything at all times and the latest new hack or exploit or new tool or update.
In every worthwhile field it seems you have to be on top of the latest advancements, but your other concerns do sound like difficulties in your lifestyle
Hmm it can be but doesnt necessarily have to be. For example, you could be customer support and never touch a command line and only up tickets or respond. Where with helpdesk it can be hands on. Quite as it is keep look at places like datacenter, godaddy, rackspace, or any hosting companies. They are always hiring.
Thanks for having me. I hope folks walk away with at least a starting point and plan. You either a builder or maintainer. Choose wisely

Did you have any prior experience or did you just do some self study and sit for the exam?
@@torrieb3860 nope, went through a tech bootcamp, became certified in RHCSA, the bootcamp provided an apprenticeship so I did that and got a job
AIX and Linux saved my life, I recommend everyone in whatever tech field you are Learn the Linux command line.

@@irisspellman2451 I agree, it was! You posted this as a reply to my comment btw. Not sure if you meant to put it here or in the main feed.
Netflix annual revenue $33 Billion. They can pay a few top engineers $700k a year. It’s nothing to them
you are correct they can doesnt mean they have to offer it. Samsung Electronics' annual revenue for 2023 was 259 trillion. They dont offer their engineers 100k to 700k in salary. It would be nothing to them but they dont offer that.
But their share holders are not having it.
