New job!

I recently accepted a new position. The new job has A LOT of positives. They provide a phone, pay for mileage, good medical benefits + 401k, and they even give their employees 80 hours of further educational opportunities such as certifications. They purchase the study material and the vouchers. Oh, and I'm getting a 7 dollar an hour raise! Within the first 90 days they want me to pass 70-680, 70-640, and 70-236. Luckily I have some material for those exams already and will be getting a head start.

Congrats! Sounds like a pretty nice deal.

Hoping to get a call soon from someplace too. 1-1.5 weeks (to hear back) was up today. I'm getting so antsy!

Congrats buddy. That 680-640-236 deal could be bit of a tough ask, but doable.

I think it is a bit tough...... I already am starting to study for em' though. I am thinking 70-680, then 640, and finally 236. I want to give myself plenty of time for the Exchange cert as I don't have a ton of experience with it.

You also might need to get some Powershell skills for the 236. It would have been better if you had the 640-642-236 combo, that way you are doing all server exams. Now you got to do 7 > 2008 > 2007. Good luck with it all, am sure you can do it.
