IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[Obreh Winfrey]

Personally I'm only interested in getting a frontend/fullstack developer job at a startup (or medium size company). I don't think a degree matters too much in my line of work. Of course if you want to work with Disney or Google or whatever you obviously need a degree. Big companies like that are obsessed with certification.

Front end is typically a lower barrier of entry than back end so we're both right. Only thing with front end is that there doesn't look like a lot of mid-career roles are out there.

Finally knocked out the Google IT Support specialist cert. Took 5 months off and on but Im glad its finally over

Now to try my luck at these professor Messer network+ videos & notes

We set up a private group chat on here with about 10 of us who were working on it collectively. A lot of us finished within 2-3 months or less.

@woneal512 After ya'll completed the cert, did y'all receive an email from Coursera/Google that allowed ya'll to opt-in to share your info with employers/recruiters?

I just found were were supposed to get an email about that.

Yeah I did but it was a while back but when I went to look on some of the companies career sites none of them actually had positions available at the time.

Week 2 of CCNA and it's like a familiar stranger
Edit - Looking back at my old posts, Chris B tried to put me on game about getting my CCNA when I was 18.

I just turned 22. Better late than never

Anybody in their 30s (and up) live in an area that puts degrees over experience?

Curious to hear if you notice any age discrimination on top of that?
