Mine's easy. I found a listing online for Craigslist. I nail interviews like it's nobody's business and I got offered the job the next day after only 1 interview. The funny part is my company is huge and they were posting craigslist ads. Don't think only ****ty jobs are on Craigslist. After ~1 year, our team lead left working for us and he taught me everything. I became psuedo-team lead and have been since. Everyone naturally comes to me for information. There are people who have been with the company for 7+ years coming to me for information. This was the same way when I was in the Marines, I would have officers coming to me as a LCpl for information on insurgents/areas/intel. haha, seems to be a trait that I have I guess.
They keep giving me every raise I ask for, so I must be doing something right, haha.
About to be promoted to Network Security Administrator or Network Security Architect once I finish my degree. Unsure of which title I'm going to suggest, haha.
I love my job and if offered enough/in the range I am looking for, I will stay with this company once I finish my degree.
