Sticking with mainly 2 work sets. I think this will work great for me. On the bigger lifts, I'm doing 5 reps then 10 reps. Mixed rep ranges have worked very well for me in the past.

Damn work was pretty boring. I would be so depressed working here if I didn't have deloitte at the end of the tunnel. The commute is long, and there's zero room for growth. Would be the perfect job to have (assuming the commute was short) once I'm in my 30's though, if I could land some higher level (well paying) position and want a good work/life balance and job security.

But i can't complain! I've finally stopped collecting unemployment benefits and can support myself

Ended up getting myself a pair of Nike Free Flyknit 4.0's on black friday for $39.

My only regret is not getting 3 pairs. I will be wearing these every damn day, they are so comfy and are kind of wide so they fit my feet perfectly!

^ picking deloitte for sure! I start that job summer/fall 2017 though, in line with people graduating in May. Heres what i could do at either:

EY Forensic Technology & eDiscovery Services:
- forensic data acquisition (cool!)
- data analytics (no thanks)
- eDiscovery (god no)

Deloitte Cyber Risk Services - Vigilant:
- forensic data acquisition
- secure software enablment
- managed services
- cyber threat intelligence
- security operations center (SOC) services
- SIEM services

So basically at deloitte i could do what i would have liked to do at EY plus more things!

But the really good thing is that i got into deloitte vigilant. Deloitte is broken down into secure-vigilant-resilient which is like a before-during-after security approach, and they also have a strategy/governance team on top. Vigilant is hardest to get into: its the most technical, a relatively small team (only about 8 vigilant entry level offers in NYC this year), and has the more down to earth people to boot. Everyone wants to be in vigilant.

But the kicker is, if i want, i can work on projects with the other teams too. You can read about them here: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/risk/solutions/cyber-risk-services.html#

Really its a no brainer to join deloitte. The pros to EY were that the FTDS team is small and doubling every 2 years, so i would be nearly guaranteed a promotion every 2 years till i got to manager level. Also EY's people are extremely friendly and supportive, you wont feel as much "corporate competition" there. If i had the chance to apply to their real cyber threat management team (they didnt recruit at my school) then i might have picked EY. It would be an easier commute for me too.

Worked out at my gym's other location. Don't know what it is, but the equipment just felt better here. The weights didn't feel lighter, it's more that I sunk into the bench and felt very stable so I can push better. The grips on the pull up bars were better so I could pull better. Stuff like that. That's why I lifted more.

I wish this location was closer to my home!

On another note, I have finished all of my assignments for my MS degree ahead of time to let myself focuson on these two 5,000 word papers I have to write, IEEE style. Man I hate this shit. We got a new chair of the dept and he is teaching this "projects & internships" class which has nothing to do with internships at all. It's just paper writings and presentations. This guy wants to make the MS degree less hands on and more research based. WTF. The whole point of my uni's MS degree was to target it towards working professionals: it has weekend only classes, and the majority of the professors are in the industry, NOT phd's. So its more hands on work. Nobody in the industry is coming to this MS program to do research... they can go to NSA-accredited schools for that crap.

let me not even get into the fact that part of our grade is dependent on how "publishable" the papers are. the papers must talk about something *new* in the field, some type of advancement, and be worth something. and if it's really good, he'll help you edit it and put his name second on the paper and get you published.... yeah.... big red flag there..... all this fucker cares about is getting published. reminds me of those professors that assign their own textbooks as the required text.

Got offers from both EY and Deloitte

My hard work has paid off.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Both offered me the same salary.
EY Forensic Technology & eDiscovery Services
Deloitte Cyber Risk Services

Leaning towards deloitte since the projects and jobs seem closer to what I want to be doing. I will negotiate the offers with both of them though! Crazy how I'll be making literally double what I made at my last job. I didn't even get sick days. Just 2 weeks vacation, and I couldn't even take them at the same time. No health benefits before either.

Had my final round interviews for EY. Killed it. Also, what a beautiful office.
Still haven't heard back from Deloitte. Will probably take another 2 weeks.
Finished the background check for that other job in Queens (infosec compliance tech). Will be starting near the end of the month
