    The Dirty Games Employers Play — and How to Use Their Rules Against Them

    ASSERTION 
    Thanks for sharing, sorry for dealing with this corporate BS. Wasn't PIP'd per say, but one of the companies I worked as a software developer forced me to work as an incoporated contractor, meaning they could can me anytime they want. But despite that, they still gave me 2 weeks notice to...

    Anyone move to dubai to start a business or get a high paying job?

    MINDSET 
    ah, I see thanks. Yeah, maybe landing a job there for now would be good. Heard it's hard without a contact though. I've tried Gulftalent, but maybe I'll see if there are other platforms.

    Anyone move to dubai to start a business or get a high paying job?

    MINDSET 
    Canada is pretty f'd at the moment. I was thinking about getting a job at Dubai as a software engineer, but that's pretty tough without a contact. Dunno if going there and setting up some sort of business is better than attempting it here. Still not sure exactly what type of business to start...

    Starting an ecommerce Niche Business (online Shop)

    EXECUTION 
    Good job so far. Just curious, do you (or anyone else for that matter), find how pretty your landing page is really matters in generating sales? I've tried a few stores but never got one sale. Only did about $100 in facebook and google ads and worked on making a really cool ad, but could be a...

    Cloud Computing or ETL consultant?

    FEEDBACK 
    Currenlty doing azure certification. Didn't know middle east would pay well for this kind of job, feel like they could get competent remote workers. Anyway, I'm not sure if there's a market to fill in terms of say having my own consulting firm and contracting out employees to help with...

    Cloud Computing or ETL consultant?

    FEEDBACK 
    I've been a software engineer for nearly 5 years. I was let go last August. I've been taking some time off and reflecting. So far, I've had some hustles, and the one I stuck with most has made my 250 USD over a year (advanced soccer techniques ebook). Honestly, I don't really see myself making a...

    Hustling on Youtube, let's see what happens.

    IDEA 
    interesting. what would you say were the main points of running a youtube channel successfully? Better audio quality? Better thumbnail? Following trends? Adding bookmarks?

    Anyone recommend networking groups?

    Still trying to figure it out. Have an online soccer youtube channel that sells ebooks (made around 180USD after 1.5 years). But I guess trying to figure out something more practical.

    Anyone recommend networking groups?

    Thanks a lot. I kept it brief as I was afraid people would instantly brand me as a religious nutcase. I heard Jewish communities are very supportive of each other in business, so I was wondering if Church groups may do the same as there's a closer bond than say a soulless business seminar.

    Getting a sales role a good step towards fast lane?

    FEEDBACK 
    wow thanks. just curious, does your team do a lot of cold call/emails or social media/blog posts to get leads? Personally, have done quite a bit of social media posts to sell another product (unreleated to software) for the past 4 years.

    Getting a sales role a good step towards fast lane?

    FEEDBACK 
    Thanks for your input. Do you sell your own software or hardware service? Or sell other another company's product?

    Getting a sales role a good step towards fast lane?

    FEEDBACK 
    thanks for the insight, I had a feeling it was something like that. They did mention something about having a "sales plan", from someone more experienced. Guess that could mean find the right formula of putting together a pdf, doing your quick pitch based on the company's needs, and then...

    Getting a sales role a good step towards fast lane?

    FEEDBACK 
    I have 5 YOE as a software developer. I don't know if being a sales rep and trying to learn the ropes, and perhaps bridging it with sales in the technology sectore is a way into the fast lane. I was thinking that it would be a useful tool to have for aquiring a company or joining a startup and...

    Suggestions on how to message a potential mentor to work under?

    Yeah I see what you're saying. I did mention to him trying to build equity in exchange for low/no pay. But I dunno, maybe he isn't completely sold on me as a worker, or wants something else.

    Suggestions on how to message a potential mentor to work under?

    well, not sure how good mentors will be marketing themselves as a "mentor"

    Suggestions on how to message a potential mentor to work under?

    Makes sense.

    Suggestions on how to message a potential mentor to work under?

    This is related to a previous post Networking Company where I was planning on potentially buying a one man networking business. I've realized it's probably better to work for myself or work under this guy for equity while he prepares for retirement. I'm a bit socially retarded, (found the...

    Put ad to offer IT installation services (I have no experience)

    IDEA 
    It's possible, but it would have to be specifically be about obtaining permits/licenses. My contract ended, but this was the website I built for liquor/cannabis licensing AGLC using a platform called AMANDA I'd have to ensure that I'd be able to obtain and use the AMANDA software myself before...

    Put ad to offer IT installation services (I have no experience)

    IDEA 
    Thanks for the insight. I was hoping to see if I could just see what services were in demand and just try and pick it up as fast as I can. In terms of software development, I was specifically working on building government websites for obtaining permits. Maybe I could focus on that... In terms...
