You are not low IQ, far from it, you are write well and have a better grasp of English than many others. A lot of highly competent people do not have a college degree or a formal education. Earlier in the thread someone mentioned ADHD, what did your psychologist say?

Well, I guess that's something I'm OK at.

I think I have a low IQ because I struggle with most higher level logic and math exercises/tasks, in addition to all of what I have mentioned before. Most decent paying jobs in society exist around those skillsets.

My psychologist said I did not have ADHD, simply, and that it's something that medical professionals would've picked up (or at least written down on my medical history) from my exhibited behavior earlier in life.

There are good companies out there, trust me. Have you tried getting a professional to look at your CV and see what can be improved? If you feel that you lack certain skills, do you have a plan to address the skill gap?

I don't think there are. My company is supposed to have great culture, work life balance, etc. All companies lie.

Look if all companies are bad then everyone in the salaried class is living a miserable existence, which isn't true. There are lots of places (with proper compensation) that will appreciate the skills you have right now and your capacity to acquire more.

Lots of things you can do to improve your chances of getting an offer. Think like an IT pro and don't shoehorn yourself in this Neoxam/Filenet space. Get AWS/Azure certs to show people that you have some understanding of the subject matter and are keeping your skillset current. You will get something better.

That's not how it works. I'd say 60-80% of the people at my company think it's a great place to work. In fact, we rate very highly on the Computer World survey every year. This is because the majority of the workers are given a good rating. If you are not given a good rating for political reasons, or you are held back from promotions for political reasons, that's where you will find the problem - in 10-20% of the people because that's who it has affected. There are people at work who I have shared my history with and they can't believe the company would do such things. The secrecy of performance management means the majority of people are happy because they don't see the negative side. Who cares if the company violates policies as long as they don't do it to you?

I have AWS certs. We don't get to use that knowledge on the job really. I won't get anything better due to the geographic restraints placed by my wife and the stiff competition for fully remote (I'm slow in code screens due to my language bouncing).

Who is using GPUs for bitcoin nowadays?

I got Windows going on a throwaway VM and installed the 1P client. Took 30 mins to an hour but surely a better option than recreating your vault by hand

Took me a little more than an hour, but you are right. This worked for me, thank you :)

You won't know you have the virus until the symptoms hit you in a few weeks after infection, and that can only be confirmed after a test.

In that "incubation period" one can spread the virus

I think you will do very well in IT security, those who dabbled in many things can join the dots and appreciate the bigger picture, which is necessary for security due to its "cover all bases" nature

Depends on what you do every day. Revenue is made by doing stupid pen tests. Since you are a revenue-driver, you gotta do them. And most are boring. The cool stuff like hacking hardware, reverse engineering and whatnot doesn't pay money. It's mostly a marketing gag to find new customers. Maybe you're lucky and can fill such a position.

Maybe I'm lucky but I've done that many times and so far the customs never bothered

Fair enough - this is too obvious, a lot more effort would be applied to obfuscate a deliberate backdoor

Interesting. I would think that the authors of the open-source firmware have come across the backdoor at some point, assuming they did go through the reference firmware.
