@@unnaipoloruvan98 U NAILED IT BRO even this channel not replying on this comment Because u stated the facts Dont have any experience but still have a cert But the recruiter would not hire you because you dont have any related experience on cloud Then just wtf this cert for? 😂 Can i work on your company so i can have atleast experience and show what this cert for.. This certification is like a degree It doesnt mean a thing if you dont any experience 😂
I have a cloud job and I can attest this approach. It is exactly the path that I followed, 3 years into my cloud job I am now looking to get one of the specialty. Hands on > Certs!
@@procrastinatingrn3936 no guarantee but it can't hurt. I suggest trying for one of the associates and focus on gaining real world skills in your study journey. If you don't have any cloud experience put some examples of personal projects and labs you have done on your resume.
It's almost like you understand everything that I've been trying to express to my family and friends when they ask me "what are you doing?". Especially the part where you mentioned about getting a cert then PAUSING to work on projects that give you some real gritty experience. That experience is so valuable. It's what makes the difference between a player who buys a lvl 60 cap warlock in World of Warcraft vs a player who decides to grind their way up manually to lvl 60. These experiences teach us how to learn new tricks and adds to our story. I'm so glad that you shared this video because it is encouraging for mannnnnnnnnnnnnny people. That PAUSE part can be confusing to people on the outside. SO it is good to see that you explained the method to the madness that people on the outside just wouldn't understand. To them you might be seen as somebody 'wasting their time' when in reality that time is being well spent on actual experience gains. Thank yoU!
Fantastic advice. I've always said, certs by themselves don't get you jobs, but it definitely adds to your overall profile. When I hire, a cert generally indicates to me that this person has base level understanding of the topic. But then it's up to me as the hiring manager to figure out if the person his just paper smart or can actually do the work that I'll need of them. :)
Excellent advice! With 30+ years of IT experience, 20 years of that as an independent consultant, I can't disagree with a single point. One very, very important situation where certifications are critical is if a contract requires it. This happens some in private industry, but it is extremely common in federal contracts. In the last decade, most of the federal contracts I have seen require certifications for developers, testers, project managers, business analysts, and especially architects. For any government contracts, the vendors making the bids will want to partner with people who have certifications and name them as key resources on the contracts.
You’re right and this is why the federal government is such a dismal disappointment. They focus on certs vs. experience. Like the video so eloquently stated, certs demonstrate a propensity to learn, but not whether someone can do the job. I’m not bashing you, just so frustrated with you’ve got to have this or that cert to be successful. By the way, I’m a hiring government manager……..
This is fantastic advice. Thank you! I have never seen this subject handled so succinctly before, with actual resources to access in order to accomplish the advice. Brilliant.
Where can you find these Hands on Projects? This is the part I am stuck on I passed my Associate Solutions Architect exam but I dont know what project to build or where to go anyone have a start for this?
I got a cloud job in one of the big four without even know what was the cloud in general. I remember my interview with the PM asking me: “have you ever heard about Cloud?”, I answered: “no” and then he replied: “ok you are in”. There are so many cloud jobs in the market that recruiters are open to hire people without any experience/certification. A suggestion for the next cloud generation: learn Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform
I managed to get a Systems Developer job using my portfolio of projects, without prior experience in software and systems development. I'm planning to do the same with Cloud jobs...build solutions and present them.
It is all subjective. For some recruiters, it matters, it does not matter for others. It is a cynical baby boom mindset that has cynically devalued formal education. In other countries, formal certification is a guarantee job.
DevOps VS Cloud are the 2 tracks that make it VERY difficult for a tech person, passionate to enter these new realms, to decide which one to choose from. The cocktail filled job descriptions make it even more confusing and demotivating to progress in the learning journey. Some people want to avoid coding while some want to avoid architecting solutions... Is there a video (Acloudguru opinion) which could clear this big hiccup that slows the learning pace of many potential cloud engineers..
@@seetsamolapo5600 I completed 4 months intensive bootcamp (that I got free and they trained me and sold me to work in customer organization as a consultant junior software developer for 1.5 years and after that I got recruited directly to customer organization). Now I have been working there 4 years as software engineer (good salary and bonuses). During my junior period as a consultant I got also good salary that was actually little better than average as juniors usually have from their first workplace in this country. I have used a lot of AWS services and I have managed well my duties. Still I have none certifications but I am soon going to do exams for architect and developer certs. And I am from Finland.
You need a job to get experience, you need experience to get a job. Recruiters hire based on subjective factors, not objective factors. Hence, why the typical myth of the no college degree, high school dropout with no CS background gets the job and not someone with a formal education and certification because the recruiter saw "potential" in the high school dropout due to subjective factors.
A recent college grad here with an associates degree in network technology, and want to start working in the cloud, should I get my a+ certification 1st or at all since I keep hearing about it, then try to find a job or try to get a beginner Microsoft cloud or Amazon cloud cert 1st then try to find a job.
Hello, I'm interested in pursuing a career in cloud computing. I lack a background in IT and don't hold a bachelor's degree in the field. Despite this, I'm eager to learn and improve. Could someone please provide guidance on whether it's feasible to secure a job in cloud computing? If so, could you outline a roadmap for me or offer advice?
I have a question. I am transitioning out of the military and the VA offers a program for Veterans named Vet Tec. With Vet Tec you can attend CCDP/CCNP, Microsoft certified cloud developer, cyber security certified associate Etc.. basically you have options to choose from when attending the program and get certified. Will google or Microsoft see Veterans as a valuable asset if we have any of these certifications? Or would they rather have college graduates?
so, how do I get my feet into the cloud , I do not have experience. Just by doing labs in the course can I get a job as a cloud engineer ? I have completed only CSAA cert.
Excellent perspective! Will the same approach work for experienced folks who are in traditional roles like sys admin ? Which spot they should aim at ? I’m from traditional role with 10+ years of experience .. The reason I ask this is One with rich experience cannot apply for entry level roles in cloud due to current salary benchmarking while the architect roles/ consultant ask for many things ! What should be the approach in this context ?
I have bachelor degree not related to IT stuff, how hard for me to breaking into IT job? currently I have MCSA cert, and currentlly learning AZ-104 cert
I am getting a certificate of introduction to cloud computing on Coursera. I want to know should I take an intermediate level cloud certificate or should start my prep for AZ 900. I am currently doing MSc IT first year. It would be great if someone answers. Thank you 😊
What do you need to do to get your foot in the door if you want to become an IT Project Manager (with no prior experience in IT, but some in PM in other industries)
I'm wondering the same here. So is the cloud practitioner just for knowing overall knowledge of aws but it's not enough to get a job? Have you been able to find the answer to this
I am very new to coding and honestly i dont really like it much....so can anyone tell me what languages do we use in cloud computing and do companies ask coding related questions in cloud job interviews?
Yes the GCP certification is still useful. Especially for it's NoSQL BigTable or large scale SQL BigQuery. Ford is still looking for GCP skilled people. Same for Spotify, Charles Schwab, and Home Depot.
sir i am in last year of my college i really wanna get into cloud industry can you tell me what to do or should i join development first then cloud ....REALLY CONFUSE!!!
