    Well done sir!
    Now that you have the new job perhaps you can quit your part time gig of advertising for that Nigerian Test ****...lol
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I'm sorry I can't do that, but if you would like send me your credit card number, full name, social security number, DNA type, and mother's maiden name and I will hook you up with some new stuff.

    You should recertify the Beer+ so it doesn't expire on you.

    I will not be using it as I previously have. I'm sure I'll still see some console time though.

    About all I can say is I did security work. Sorry to be vague, but that's how it goes.

    aha well I guess it's time to update this thread. I absolutely hated the job I got. It just wasn't a good fit for me, so I am currently in the process of getting another job. I'm pretty much just waiting for the written offer letter. This job will be doing some more hands on security testing.

    This is a prime example of not burning your bridges. My old firm is hiring me back at a higher position.

    Sorry to hear about the new job but congrats on the re-grab of the better job! Did you start out in security doing "GCIA" rotation work?

    No, I had a bit of experience in security before I ever took the GCIA, or did anything packet capture related.
