IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

Bet. What path did you take with the certs? I have a bachelors in cybersecurity and CCNA as well. I find that I really enjoy cloud computing

All cloud everything : Office 365, Azure Architect, AWS CSAA along with ITIL and some other stuff.... In interviews, just make sure you mention that your CCNA knowledge helped you see VPC security differently

You have the right profile so if I'm you, focus on mastering automation, all that scripting stuff and Azure AZ-500 and the AWS Security. Along the way, grab a regular security cert if you can (CISM or CISSP).

With Automation (CF and Terraform), Multicloud security (Azure & AWS) and your CCNA, Thats a solid start. SO just get the relevant experience to go with it and you're out of here

Lightly tested the market today this week and already got a reply. I feel like I have been living for my job, it's getting a bit frustrating. They have changed my hours several times. Plus on call, it's too many changes got me feeling real frustrated. Making it hard to enjoy a life outside of work.

There is a huge demand right now. So get out because we don't know how long it's going to stay this hot

Sounds like it's time to go breh

I think prioritizing work/life balance in our field is very important and I feel like a lot of people over look that. Cant give all of our time to these people

Is this your first AWS cert or did you do the solutions architect first?

oh bet you and Lord Z seem to be following the path I want to pursue. Was the developer cert harder than the SA cert?

I hate those days when you try to work on a project and it seems like nothing got done.

Sometimes it’s all about taking the initiative and beginning the process
