I'm still often kinda stunned by the people in this market and this world who say they urgently want A) a cybersecurity job or B) to emigrate

And I directly offer to to help them by offering my calendar for the next month,
for free, no strings

And they're just like, nah, that time isn't convenient

I mean yo - you can go pay a person $500/hr for advice if you want and they'll have like a 80% chance of being a pyramid scheme or a charlatan, but they'll definitely meet at a time you want.

If you can't meet one single, totally free 30 minute online meeting in either the early morning or late evening across a whole month, and you want to get into cybersecurity in 2026, or immigrate to another country

no, you don't

There's really no like "what if they're a parent" or "what if they're short on money" here. There just isn't. I have a variety of times open every Friday - Sunday, every week. And they're open 45 days ahead.

@hacks4pancakes That does sound very strange...

@DamonHD Repeatedly. I mean, I have Questions at this point. People desperate to break into the field or bleeding envy I was able to move to another country and I -offer to help- them, no strings and the thought of that much work makes them stop.

@hacks4pancakes @DamonHD just accept that not everyone is willing to do what is necessary. GenX pretty much grew up having to figure it out. That comes with negatives, but resilience is one of the better facets.

@mweiss @hacks4pancakes @DamonHD xennials too - aside from the workaholic tendencies it's one of our better traits probably.
