IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[Pyrexcup]

Personally I'm only interested in getting a frontend/fullstack developer job at a startup (or medium size company). I don't think a degree matters too much in my line of work. Of course if you want to work with Disney or Google or whatever you obviously need a degree. Big companies like that are obsessed with certification.

Yes you can get a job without a degree however your grind and interview bullshyt game better be a1. Its 2018 almost everyone has a degree many job openings have 100s of applicants how do you think they are filtering out people? Also with outsourcing and cheap labour flooding the tech scene you could be competing with people from 3rd world countries with post grad education willing to work for far less than you.

You can defiantly pull it off but don't let the posters on reddit hype you up nanny will have access to networks and resources you wont

Front end is typically a lower barrier of entry than back end so we're both right. Only thing with front end is that there doesn't look like a lot of mid-career roles are out there.

Finally knocked out the Google IT Support specialist cert. Took 5 months off and on but Im glad its finally over

Now to try my luck at these professor Messer network+ videos & notes

We set up a private group chat on here with about 10 of us who were working on it collectively. A lot of us finished within 2-3 months or less.

@woneal512 After ya'll completed the cert, did y'all receive an email from Coursera/Google that allowed ya'll to opt-in to share your info with employers/recruiters?

I just found were were supposed to get an email about that.

Yeah I did but it was a while back but when I went to look on some of the companies career sites none of them actually had positions available at the time.

Week 2 of CCNA and it's like a familiar stranger
Edit - Looking back at my old posts, Chris B tried to put me on game about getting my CCNA when I was 18.

I just turned 22. Better late than never
