IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

Thanks a ton breh... I'll try to work on that and hopefully have it cleared by the end of June. I know a steady pace would be great but honestly my current workplace and work environment/schedule has just made this pursuit all the more urgent for me. Believe it or not, I'm only two jobs removed (current job included) from a similar warehouse position as you once had. I'm right now booking the AZ900 for this Saturday. I found a helpful Youtube course for it and I got practice exams through testpreptraining which has been a really valuable resource for me. It's very short notice test-taking but cheaper than the rest and should bolster my job applications while I spend the next few weeks prepping for CCNA.

I'd appreciate more info about that Testout workaround you mentioned.. but as a poster above said, it's not possible to DM you at this time.
All that said, thanks again for your time.

Not gonna lie, it's no so much ServiceNow but the setup I got. Remote, making $30 a hour, and no micro managing. The best thing out of all is I don't really have to deal with any end users anymore.

These are the only type of roles I will search for from now on in the future.

My beef is always gonna be with ServiceNow. Working with it doesn't make me feel like a software engineer and I guess I resent that. I spent most of my time writing bad JavaScript and fighting bad performance when I was in it.

What is it and how you get on?

A CMDB that lets a company centralize all their data. It can do some good stuff but I my opinion, from a business standpoint, it's foolish. Company spends x years and n millions of dollars to migrate to ServiceNow. But then what happens when that bill starts to look like an international phone number? Scramble to pull that shyt out again and spend even more money. That sticker shock was a bytch for a lot of companies that rushed to cloud. But that's just how I see it .

Oh that is understandable, I'm not really even doing technical IT work right now. I am more on the business side of things. Asset manager/Business analyst.

I been hired though for specifically for what you stated though, the company I work at migrated to ServiceNow a couple of years ago and now need help fixing/cleaning shyt up/tracking data. Best gig I had in my entire life .

Can't be mad at that. Like I said it can do some cool things - we're moving some important inventory systems into it right now. But the problem is going to be that they're trying to port application functionality over and it feels ill advised.

Who is hiring? Job market looks terrible and with things not going well at work, I'm trying to put in more applications.

And are there any issues with working for Canadian companies and working remotely in the US? I'm a dual citizen.

I see a lot of woman on "black twitter" getting into service now. Some of them are working multiple contracts so they can pull in over 6 figs.

Say brehs I've been in sales my entire career. Over 15 years. Make 6 figures but I am burned out. I'm ready for a career change. Always been interested in IT but never moved to it with the success I've had in sales. Where do I start to make 6 figures or at least close to it? I've researched and cyber security seems to be the move to make. Any feedback is appreciated.

You haven't seen real burnout until you work in cybersecurity.
