Maximized Potential
Competition spurs motivation. May the best man win
In NYC that's very strong possibility
Today was the 1st day of this coding bootcamp. All we did was fill out forms, but I'm already feeling nervous about it.

From what I hear you really have to be on it in terms of knowing your way around that cisco IoS and configuring and troubleshooting routers.
Best of luck to you though,

A CCNA or a MCSA for a Jr. IT Help Desk position?
WTF, with those qualifications and the salary they must not want the position filled, a CCNA or MSCA should be able to easily make more money in the area or anywhere else.

Morning IT brehs :blackpblessed:
Sohh...I'm currently at a career crossroads and I'm not sure which path to take.
I'm currently a Junior Network Analyst, and at my job I need to get at least one IT cert to be promoted to Network Analyst I (or II depending on the cert).
I don't currently hold any active certs.
I've been given the role of Office 365 admin/subject matter expert, and it's been pretty easy so far. I wasn't around for the initial migration to Office 365; I was brought into the team as the migration was 75% complete, so I don't have much knowledge on migrating from Office 2007/2010/2013 to Office 365.
My goal is to eventually become Exchange admin for the company. Here's my dilemma:
I want to get a Microsoft cert to support me being promoted to Net Analyst. Should I get
-The MCSA - Office 365 cert, since I'm already working with Office 365 and is the prerequisite to getting the MCSE - Exchange cert, or
-The MCSA - Server 2016 cert, since it's less specific and covers more areas? (If I want to become Exchange admin I'd still have to get the MCSA - Office 365 cert)
Any advice? any other certs I should consider along this path that would be more relevant?
