Certs are the gateway to learning the core knowledge to get recognized and apply that knowledge to real-world projects. No different, in the (grand) old days, how university degrees were "supposed" to give that same baseline knowledge to prepare someone for the professional world. Certs have helped me tremendously develop a core understanding of the tech, so I can be more confident with clients and their projects. 🙂 Bearing all of these points in mind, in my (humble) opinion you should run after a certification only if you plan to make a living in that vendor's universe. I.e., get a CCNA if you plan to work with Cisco products, or a VMware cert if you plan to market yourself as an on-prem virtual engineer. However, if one is only dabbling in these technologies on a day-to-day basis, she's right, no need to waste time when you can just create a project or read the vendor's white papers with how to implement their solution.

Thank you for a very thoughtful and insightful comment. This is great advice based on experience :)

Certifications do 3 things. 1) They help you pass the keyword search when recruiters are scanning resumes. 2) They give the hiring manager a barometer of what you "should" know. 3) They give you a structured learning path. Thinking they do anything outside of that is a fairytale

Ways to start a project, based on your understanding on whichever cloud platform you are using, 1. Look for research papers. 2. Gain knowledge from that research paper(which needs to be relevant to your sub domain and also obviously cloud as well) 3.

This is very American advice. In Europe, certification is what gets you to the hiring manager and need to soft skills to demonstrate your attitude and a bit of real world experience to demonstrate your ability to work with others. Anyone can build a greenfield stand alone project, but its hard to create a new solution from a legacy bespoke project, maybe for a local social group or a school or local business etc. Create one and learn to talk about it at both a small and big picture level and you'll be glad you took that associate exam to get you an interview!

Hi Mitch, my entire professional experience has been in higher ed. I finally broke into my first IT role (Tech Business Analyst) at a University. I just recently quit cuz I wanted to focus more on programming and less business, my managers didn't like this and kept reeling me back in. I want to get better and do more tech skills. Can I ask what university's you recommend? I still want to work for universities. I have an MBA and a CompTIA Security+ cert. I'm thinking of obtaining the AWS Solutions Architect cert. Also, do you recommend any job titles? My recent job I was basically a Workday Integrations Developer.

Wow....impressed on your take. You basically hit on a lot of the thing I believe and see. The whole Cloud Certs mania reminds me of the early days of when I was doing my first MCSE...back then- around 1998/1999- everyone was on the MS Cert train...And that mania led to a plethora of "paper certified' engineers. Basically people who had the Certs, but no background, skills or hands on experience. Oh they could answer questions...but no real hands on in the field. The field is where you will put that knowledge to use and then gain skills needed to troubleshoot etc... After all real life production environments are much different than a worded scenario on a test. LOL Stating people should start with the first one entry type cert (assuming of course people have their fundamentals down first) is a good. And I love the whole do a project to showcase that cert skill. That's a great idea. Especially in this day and age where you can build out a project online, for free and showcase it. I also agree that in 2023 companies, recruiters etc.. are looking for the kind of people who are able to handle various areas. Not specifically a master in one. The only thing I can think to add here is that if one is new to starting out on this road? Make sure you have your fundamentals down. Hard. If you are just starting out on the IT path then knowing the fundamental cores is a must -- think CompTIA's A+, Network+ --and/or Security+.....even Cloud+ ....know and understand CLI and as Gwyneth mentioned, scripting. You will need those. :) Thanks for your input here Gwyneth and Cheers!🙂

It might depend on where you live, here in Sydney Australia if you don't have a degree, Certification is the main factor that will attract the attention of the recruiters. After certs then they will ask you about your experience, and if you're at entry level you're going to have to walk them through the projects that you built relating to your certs. Otherwise forget it, your resume is not going to make it to the hiring manager's table.

I stopped worrying about acquiring certifications and started focusing more on actually learning and applying that learning in projects, as you've mentioned. If a certification becomes required by an employer, then fine, I'll get one, but I agree that they don't seem as important now. You also have people getting these certs who honestly don't know anything else outside of that environment, and I think it's turning off a lot of employers.

They've been saying that since the 90s but TBH having them is noticed by emplyors and HR departments but I also like your frame work too.

These are facts! It took me a couple years to get a cloud job after doing the AZ 104 and AZ304/305. What finally helped me break through was when I decided to do the cloud resume project. Certifications themselves only get you so far.

Not sure where you live, but once you have $500K, you should consider not working for any one. Start a small business doing something simple and make your self rich.

What if they show you 2 cloud certifications and 2 projects, as I recommended in this video? Or if they have years of experience?

Well what I understand about the certification, is not necessarily to secure the job but to know or navigate the subject at hand. Delving deeper is an individual's responsibility. Same as it was even before. If you had certification, you just prove that you know the subject to a particular level at minimum which then could help you secure an interview where the employer gets to know better about your skills then in most cases an assessment. But should you only claim to have some knowledge, it hardly gets you even closer to the door where they get to know you better. In my view, nothing has changed about certification. They never meant to say one is an expert on the subject, but they were always meant to prove that you know the subject to at-least a particular level.😊

Yeah, passing a Kurbernetes certs back than was a huge deal. The only practical certs that actually matter even til this day and AWS doesn't have any off that !

Agree. Cloud certification not important.. It's just a piece of paper

Your advices are good but dont forget your case is not universal, as others said , a newbie wont have much to display besides certification and knowlegde from sandboxes , however as you said it was a niche few years ago , first AWS cert was published 10 years ago , and back then was already outdated cause AWS changes so fast , but we are going into the same banashit as with windows certs back in the days , where HR mandates you to have it , and people sits few weeks to beat the game and get certified but have zero knowledge about everything related to the basics of IT in many areas like networking security dev database and so on ....... recently AWS removed the labs from some exams which mean you can get it without real field knowledge .... same story as with microsoft

Ridiculous amount of info to master. Even with certification, you still need a MS in computer science and 10 years exp. I only use the free training for highl level mgmt knowledge.

She is clearly full of it. Depending on the context and positions you are seeking, Cloud Certs or other kinds of Cert for that matter, most certainly DO matter. Do they matter for every position, context, or company? No, of course not - it's a tautology to even have to posit that. There are so many different career paths with Tech, even within specific niches, that it's absurd to propose one set of guidelines for any one thing or person. I've been in IT for 35+ years and reinvented myself at least three times, each time required new training/education or at least a reup to existing skill sets. The real absurdity is hiring manager-morons who still lend too much credence in college/university degrees even to get hired for low to mid level roles. I worked in academia for 8+ years and know how the 'sausage is made' - many young people coming out of college, even with a so-called Masters in IT (MIS), are largely clueless - they have NO idea how businesses work, little acumen regarding processes or systems, and many cannot even speak or write coherently, or communicate effectively - all of that comes with a diversity and depth of experience.

Before I engage with you... did you actually watch the video because reading your comment clearly shows that you didn't.

I disagree. I have just seen on Dice and LinkedIn requirements for AZ-104 and AWS Solutions Architect Associate today. Why act like the application tracking system (ATS) does not exist.

if the job requires you to get a cert, use that as 1 of the 2 certs I recommend getting.
