I think they actually extended the certs through 2020 due to Covid.

I didn't hear about that

I just heard they were going to get discontinued in June

Even if they're getting extended, I'm not going to get a dying cert

If you're not constantly learning something new every few months. You're basically stunting your future earnings big time.

The speed at which technology changes means you're skills could be obsolete after only 3 or 4 years. Especially if you work for a company that isn't on the bleeding edge of technology wise.

I get to continue on the VDI career path with VMware and I'll get some exposure to Citrix, Azure, server building, etc all while working from home

From $15 /Hour to $85K since January of last year.

From unboxing and imaging PCs all day to this

Keep Grinding Brehs.

In a year or two of getting experience you should hit six figures easy . What certs you aimed for?

Currently I hold:

(2xVCP Designated)

VCP-DTM and VCP-DCV ( I really love working with VMware + plenty of Work from Home opportunities)

Certs I'm after:

• RHCSA is scheduled for next month on the 4th
• RHCE - Goal By the end of the year (My second favorite skill set is Linux, I love working in Bash CLI)
• AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate - getting good scores on practice test, Might go ahead and knock it out
• CKA Certified Kubernetes Administrator - Goal is January or February next year

Once i'm done with this contract, I'm going for a Cloud Engineer or Devops role

I'm bout to buy me a server desktop with 8 to 16 cores, 96G-128G of RAM and 2 TB Hard drive to build out a full VDI infrastructure.

Sounds unnecessary, but those .VMX, .VMDK files and snapshots add up on your hard drive fast. I need the cushion

reason I'm going so hard with the lab set up is my goal is to become an RHCA and VMware Design Expert by or during 2022... Linux and Virtualization is my foundation and any other skill I get on top of that will be icing on the cake.

That's my whole purpose....to inspire my G

Everytime I make a break through or hit a career milestone, I want to keep brehs updated to show them in real-time what's possible when you stay in grind mode

I want to keep this thread going just as strong as it was 3 to 4 years ago.

What's ur role?

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

What's ur role?

Service Desk

Work for hospitals

I get to see Epic but mostly just escalate to second level

I've tried to do more with it but most I've done is a merge that didn't solve the issue

@Rawtid would this actually be worth taking?
