Idk I feel like there’s kind of a separation between software developers and help desk/networking/admin type roles

In reality there is, in perception there isn't.
If you have the ability to program and work history in the field.
You don't need to go the A+ route, you could probably get by on self study and just stating that you know about the pc support side.

you do Cloud right?
if a breh wants to get into Cloud, what certs should he take?
I do Network Infrastructure(Fiber Network and Wide Area Network Infrastructure) but on my spare time I like learning new shyt for when the right opportunity comes along. The AWS certifications are the most popular ones out there. There is also the google cloud which I have knocked out too.

Cool, i don't have a IT background so I'm looking at different areas to get into.
What's the Google cloud cert like ?
I have the AWS CSA and currently finishing the Azure Architect one.
Just curious about the Google cloud training options.

Pretty easy imo...i just used quizlet
GCP - Data Engineer Certification Flashcards | Quizlet
GCP: Complete Google Data Engineer and Cloud Architect Guide
Plus google gives you $300. Honestly, a lot of the services are the same as AWS(which I took already). I will say the GCP exam is much harder since it's scenario based, not necessarily memory based. Google has tons of Architecture Diagrams on there that will help a lot. I am taking the data engineer most likely monday.

How was the exam? do you have any study materials that you can recommend me using?
First things first, What's your background ? The Exam is not hard but it's particular.
You have to be careful doing certs. If you just have a bunch of them but they don't fit your profile/experience, you will be shooting yourself in the foot
I discovered this site in September 2015. I went back at least 150 pages back to understand the mindset that everebody had to see how I can plan my come up
Since then I grabbed AWS CSAA, an MCSE and now doing the Azure Architect Cert
.I know it's hard out here but please make sure to go read at least 175 pages back (doable in 2weeks, 30mn a day).
All profiles in IT have been adressed and you will find all the knowledge you need to decide for a path that suits you and then get your certs. Most of the guys are not really on the Coli like that anymore cause we chasing the paper so you might not always find somebody to respond to you
so your best chance is to read.
Hope I dont come off cocky or some shyt, but this is what I did and it worked
. I still have 3 big certs to chase after this one so we coming up breh, let's get this money the right way
