What is your background and what are are you most interested in? Without knowing anything about you, I would say focus on learning networking and get comfortable with a scripting language(ideally python).
, some have their associates in networking, many starts out just answering calls then learn their way up. The basic my job would require is to get Linux +, Networking+ and Security plus+. Platforms you can learn Firewalls (Palo Alto, Checkpoint, Forntinet), Endpoint( Crowdstrike, Carbon Black), IPS/IDS(ASA firepower) etc. You can learn Qualys for VM..lol its so many tools out there.
Shiddd, got fired from my gig at the end of October.
Since the firing, I thought maybe I could try my hands at building an app, and have been doing MERN stack courses on Udemy.Was barely doing any work and it became painfully obvious. Was more concerned with these certs.
Also had some health challenges that made things difficult, but at the core, I couldnt muster enough fukks to do shyt on time
Tbh after the initial "shock"(first time getting fired), I was hella relieved
Major projects were getting shelved cuz of covid and the clients being dissatisfied with the product and its delivery.
I also wasn't assigned to any project for close to a year(barring some staff aug on one for like 2 weeks, right before it got shelved
Went from requirement gathering sessions with clients to being stuck writing release notes, occasional product documentation, and testing an endless backlog of JIRA tickets, which boiled down to data entry and some business logic validation (Strictly in the GUI)
Needless to say, for an aspiring IT gang, 6cert breh, I was bored out of my mind
However the scope of the project in mind was a pipe dream given my mediocre programming acumen and my ever draining bank account. Plus my girl been acting grouchy all of a sudden
Now back on the cert grind. The plan is RHCSA, CKAD and AWS-CSA Pro before end of the March(
best case).
Go hard or stay broke right?
Saving graces are being free all day, stimmy + unemployment checksWish me luck brehsthankful them republic*nts lost all control

Got a gig with IBM in their cloud business. Now part of the 6 fig club
With the full bonus, lets just say its closer to 200 than 150. shyt had me shook asf when the HR lady told me the offer
Just glad I only had to do AWS SA Pro, cuz your boy was running out of steam. When they scheduled the interviews, I figured that it might be one of my only shots at this type of bread, so prepped for the interview like a mug.
Had a 15 page manuscript of answers to potential interview questions. Popped an adderall like an hour before each interview(2 interviews with senior management) and was spitting mad bars
Now I gotta actually back my shyt up, and complete the scam

Its called customer success manager. If they have an opening in your city, I would suggest for one to apply provided you have a couple of years experience in IT. I have 3 years so if that provides some context.

I also used Stephane Mareek's course on Udemy. I purchased his courses for the associates, dev, devops and sa-pro (taken the exams for aforementioned other than devops pro), then referenced each of them, but mostly his handouts as they served as refreshers for certain services.
