Look if all companies are bad then everyone in the salaried class is living a miserable existence, which isn't true. There are lots of places (with proper compensation) that will appreciate the skills you have right now and your capacity to acquire more.

Lots of things you can do to improve your chances of getting an offer. Think like an IT pro and don't shoehorn yourself in this Neoxam/Filenet space. Get AWS/Azure certs to show people that you have some understanding of the subject matter and are keeping your skillset current. You will get something better.

There are good companies out there, trust me. Have you tried getting a professional to look at your CV and see what can be improved? If you feel that you lack certain skills, do you have a plan to address the skill gap?

I got Windows going on a throwaway VM and installed the 1P client. Took 30 mins to an hour but surely a better option than recreating your vault by hand

You won't know you have the virus until the symptoms hit you in a few weeks after infection, and that can only be confirmed after a test.

In that "incubation period" one can spread the virus

Re:Ask HN: What job can a “jack of all trades” look for? on Saturday February 15, 2020 @10:22AM (#22335773)
I think you will do very well in IT security, those who dabbled in many things can join the dots and appreciate the bigger picture, which is necessary for security due to its "cover all bases" nature
Maybe I'm lucky but I've done that many times and so far the customs never bothered
Re:Router Firmware Backdoor on Saturday February 28, 2015 @02:24PM (#9124700)
Fair enough - this is too obvious, a lot more effort would be applied to obfuscate a deliberate backdoor
Re:Router Firmware Backdoor on Saturday February 28, 2015 @02:01PM (#9124621)
Interesting. I would think that the authors of the open-source firmware have come across the backdoor at some point, assuming they did go through the reference firmware.

I wonder how many of the affected routers have their remote management interfaces turned on by default - if they are off (as they should be) then it probably isn't that big a deal... I mean, loads of routers have admin:admin set and left unchanged
