Sup boys. Cloud Engineer / Dev Ops Boi

mirin, after a relatively short amount of time working in corporate B&M IT i'm dead-set on finding a role under the IT umbrella that i can do mostly or entirely remotely.

I'm using the popular "dev ops roadmap" as a general guide of what to learn. Right now I'm prioritizing AWS cert and Python

Since you're already doing the dance, would you say i am on the right path or wasting my time with those 2 areas of knowledge as my starting blocks?

Got my PMP certification today after studying since Christmas. The vagueness and ambiguity of the questions were a complete mindphuck and had me questioning my intelligence up until and saw 'passed' on the screen. Looking to use it as leverage for a raise, or for another job. Median salary for PMP 100k-120k.

Next, I'll be prepping for AWS Solutions Architect. Dealing with concrete numbers, networking, hands-on labs is gonna be warmly welcomed.

Cisco tests are like that too "what is the first step to setting up a switch" a. buy the hardware b. turn it on. well you would need to buy it first but do they really want to go that deep into it? then you never know if you get it wrong or not. hate that chit

Got my AWS CSAA boyos.

That's great. How did you study for it? I'm trying to transition to Cloud/DevOps. Currently in a customer role. Any tips? Thanks man!

Not a wizard but try to use it as often as I can. I don't get a whole lot of opportunities to make scripts (outside of ones I have in my scripts folder) unless I have extra time to sit down and write a script to do something I could have already done manually by the time I finished writing it.

Is it worth getting on the certification treadmill?
CISSP, GIAC (and some of its children) etc?

I mean, I work with people that have lots of certs, but really, is it the be-all and end-all of "professional" IT?

Not worth it.

Get on the cert treadmill if your work demands certs to maintain its partner status with a vendor. I've only seen certs mandatory in some MSP. However I do encourage people to study the topics covered in the cert exams, that knowledge is very valuable. Also the higher you go up in the IT ladder you'll notice very few have current up to date certs.

Alright boyos, my PMP cert honeymoon is over, started studying for AWS Solution Architect last night. Aiming to pass by the end of March.

I've been a project manager for 2 years now, or 4 if you count the post-grad rotational program I was in. I'm trying to level up to Cloud Program Manager. My company is making a massive transition to AWS. Thinking I get 1-2 years experience here then try to slide into FAANG.

It's been a while boyos. Been busy with life-changing events. I decided to quit my full-time job and start my own tech company. I'm doing 50% training (paid blogs, videos, video courses, speaking at conferences, etc.) and 50% consulting (just picked up a 15-20 hour contract per week for 6 months).

Damn that's really intense. How is it going? Did this start as something you were doing on the side and decided you could make it full time?

Yeah, dude. I've been creating content and building my brand for a while. I just decided to do it full time because I was getting way too much work coming in to just do it as a side gig anymore.

It's really fun man. I'm learning a ton of other skills as well as marketing, accounting, etc.

Sup bruh! I'm staying healthy and sane by working on my personal projects. Crushed the AWS Devop Pro exam last weekend. I honestly doused my hand in hand sanitizer when I got back in my car lol.

My IT training was put on hold until June because of this. I have tons of material to study at home and going through my homelab.

It depends on the day, but I really don't consider it work anymore. I'm just doing what I love and treating my career like a business.

Yeah, it's all 100% from home.
