IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

So I got an offer as anticipated from NetSuite. Lower than I anticipated but high amount of equity. The issue is that I'm going to a place with a higher cost of living than I was living in and getting lower salary. I would be comfortable with 10K more on top of the offer.

So I have to consider some things here.

NetSuite in Austin?

That's right.

That's right.

That's one of the companies I interviewed with before I got my current job.

Anybody know if they have any of the 3 month camps in Charlotte ATL or anywhere in South Carolina?

In in Arlington right now. Pretty crazy though. If this current job didn't give me an offer, I'd probably be at NetSuite right.

Search the job boards in your area and see which of those certs are most in demand. Its going to be different for every area and dependant on jobs you are looking for. CEH+ likely won t help you get an entry level helpdesk job even though its a solid cert. A+ may.

Any of you ever use Kevin Wallace videos for cert study ?

Used him for my ccna. Nice short videos, it helped me.

Make sure you have a book to read alongside to expand on topics.

I'm not going to work or deal with any of them (I'm an end user not an IT guy) but for some odd reason it appears on my career map...so I was like it doesn't hurt to do an easy one to check the block.
