Solutions Architect Associate and Professional later in the year.
How you plan on leveraging it? I am about to leverage it and move to a AWS position, probably an onsite one initially to get more hands on. Year down the line roll out and look for a remote position once I have the skills down. Currently a Cyber Security Engineer but only in name, not really using any major security tools.Sounds like we're going down similar paths. I need to hop back on studying for the Solutions Architect exam as well. Just trying to figure out how I want to leverage it before I commit to it again.

That makes sense. As more companies transition to the cloud, having a PM who understands it will be valuable. Can also do it remotely for the foreseeable future.My goal (I think) is cloud advisory, or at least form of cloud project management…
if I stay in the federal space (been trying to get out), I want to move away from the on-site/program-oriented contracting I am used to, and transition to a cloud service provider (AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, WWT, Rackspace), or work for a company that provides solutions/services/products (i.e. SaaS) likely in implementation roles
if that makes sense…
Anyone in here get their AWS Practitioner Cert? Has it helped you in progressing your current situation?
That’s why I’d be looking into it. Just for the knowledge. I have a little server experience but not enough. Definitely not paying for the exam. Cost too much.I got it a long time ago.
It’s not a worthwhile certification. Decent info if you work as a sys admin and starting out.
Honestly, their most worthwhile certifications are the holy trinity.
I DO want to get Linux+…just because I want to play with VMs and have a way of validating my Linux knowledge. For me that’s part of the reason why I’ve gotten certifications, just knowledge.
According to the objectives, it covers “server architecture, administration, storage, security, networking, troubleshooting as well as disaster recovery.”What does server+ cover? Windows or Linux? Never hear much of it.
I couldn’t tell you. I know when I took it…it was befo…Esxi and vSphere…befo…Hyper-V….befo Servers 2012-2022…Containers…Cloud…What does server+ cover? Windows or Linux? Never hear much of it.
How did you end it?I dealt with that too. Took control of it real quick and ended the interview myself. They more than likely didn't want to hire you, probably got someone else in mind (or someone does) that's one of their friends so they do a **** interview to disqualify you because you don't know technical definitions that have no bearing on the fact you can actually do the thing and they dont either for that matter, as they have google up.
Yeah, pretty much. Don't allow them to waste your time considering that it is clear that they have someone else already in mind. When they start to beam you with questions like this is who wants to be a millionaire or some kind of gameshow, you already know what time it is.Literally did the exact same thing dude is describing, was like 8 guys on the call and just 1 know it all acting *** dude like, "Do you know what IP is?" "What's the port for ftp?" just asking quizlike questions, which if I didn't know I'd say I dont know and he'd read it off to me (again as if it has any bearing) but if I did, he'd literally be like "well how bout this," like how is trying to got'cha me or stump me any kind of productive.
But anyways, I was like, "it's clear this isn't going to be a fit either way, I appreciate everyone's time and for considering me, but it's Friday and we might as well all reclaim our time," or something to that effect, just a really corporate you're not gonna make me feel bad, get off my screen ****bois.
He was all flabbergasted like, "oh wow, uhh, so you have any questions for me," *click*.
it's only on really high paying 6 figure + jobs I have had that happen.
Like fam, ask what I do now and/or explain your current environment to me and let's talk about how my current skillset and past experience as an addition would or wouldn't be an asset to your project, not read off dictionary definitions.
one time i had an interview where the dude was being a big time a hole and telling me some weird stuff so when he was like whats ur 5 year plan? i was like honestly i'lll only stay in IT for a year or two then i'm giong to go all in on real estateYeah, pretty much.

Dude said it's a weakness. LMAO. Haven't taken any AWS exams yet, but universe must know I plan to. Received second job interview request for AWS position. Salary much to low to make that jump right now even if just the experience. Since the jobs are coming in without the certs, all the more reason for me to wait until I get them to start looking.A technical interview should be really about figuring out how you approach things. The little gotcha word tests are such a waste of time, especially for experienced folks. You'll learn and forget so many things over the years, doesn't mean you can't do a whole *** role.
Actually think I got a job before for kinda arguing with the interviewer and standing my ground. This was before I touched AD in an enterprise environment but it seemed simple enough from labbing. He brought up if I know AD, said never in a work scenario but i'm familiar and he said ok we'll list it as a weakness. I disagreed because nothing I saw of it would make me think this would be difficult for me so we went back and forth for a bit. I just thought a weakness is something I would struggle with, which AD wasn't. Thought I was done for then they hit up next day for the next phase.
I learned though that ability to stand your ground was essential in that environment (toxic AF) and that's what set me apart.
Funny thing is now, semantically, I think he was correct .
