AWS seems pretty easy to me due to my background in Networking. The difficult thing is remembering these dumb names like Glacier etc.

$13 for a project manager?
Decent experience though if you have a limited background or can manage to live off of that salary for 6-12 months.
Yeah I saw that and literally fell out my chair laughing. That should be criminal.

The sad reality is, if someone will take it for that price, then they are justified. Some markets are so saturated with people desperate to get into IT they can do this stuff.

Surprised they didnt just call it a project coordinator role, because even a Junior PM role shouldnbe paying like 19-20 and hr.
@Silkk should I pay 1899 for a A+ class or would it be smarter to just use a book and then go take the test?
I met with an academic adviser but idk if they're just trynna get me to spend money at their school.
A+ is a boo boo cert breh lol. You you dont have enough disciple to just do a cheap UDEMY course to become familier with the concepts IT may not be fore you.
Dont spend a rack for entry level cert
Ye but what if you're just getting into IT? Isn't that like the first thing you need? That number seemed mad off to me so that's why I didn't register.
