Well about 3-4 months ago I applied for the next level up and got turned down and I was disappointed but still put my nose down and kept studying. Last week I got a surprise interview for a similar position and just found out today I got it. Got an actual IT job for the first time last December (which was a temp job), got this one a few months later, and now I'm going from 31K to 45K. All the certs I'm getting and knowledge I've learned have really helped me. It's at a help desk so now I get to work Level 2 tickets now. Really nice to be out of the entry-level area.
