AWS Cloud Practitioner Discussions
Certification

Hi guys, I've been an Events Project Manager for approx 11 years now (I started when I was 19!) I specialise in large scale B2B corporate trade shows (exhibitions, conferences, awards etc.)

I'm trying to transition into a more traditional PM role, particularly in the tech/software space.

I've completed a Google Project Management course, got my Scrum Master certification and now training for the AWS Cloud Practitioner.

Any advice on how else I can prove my skills are transferrable?

I already have a AWS cloud practitioner cert and an Azure foundation cert. Whenever I interview for cloud positions, there seems to be an interest in GCP.
As a firm, I like Google & their moonshot ideas. I dream of one day joining the elite team. Is the firm really worth the hype? @AWS
@google

Any entry level consulting / industry roles available? My friend got a later start, but has a degree in Cloud Computing and is working as a help desk technician. He has an AWS CCP and is working towards architect. Anyone recruiting? Eager to learn and work way up.

I’m a project manager with 7 years of PM experience in all kinds of industries. I’m currently in construction, but absolutely hate it. I’m looking to break into tech and was wondering if anybody has a good pathway into project management for a tech company. I’ve got a PMP, will have my AWS CCP in the next week and am hoping to have my Scrum Master by the end of the year (I’m on a waiting list)!

Hi fishes,

I'm looking for DevOps Engineer roles.
I'm AWS CCP certified azure certified.

YOE: 2.1

Let me know if you guys have any leads.

Thanks.

Have some extra time and work covers certifications for me. I was thinking getting some cloud certifications might be good, and wondering if anyone has insight into if AWS cloud practitioner is a good thing to have or if there’s a better one?

So I’ve been studying for the AWS cloud practitioner certification for a month now and completed all cloud quest levels but still not feeling 100% confident. Has anyone tried the exam question dumps ? There are so many websites but not sure which one is the most reliable one as all of them you would have to purchase such as pass-guaranteed, certwizard, etc.. any recommendations is greatly appreciated

Hi, I need your honest opinion on this. Currently I have done AWS cloud practitioner certificate and want to progress but I don't think to like Solution Architect that much, I feel it will be boring for me. I love to create things, and love data manipulation, so I found this course in Google data engineer + AI... I feel it might be good fit for me. What do you think about it. Am looking for something I can study and stick with it long run. Thanks 😊.

Newish to data analytics. Have some experience in power BI, sql, and R. I wanted to get some exposure to aws and saw the AWS cloud practitioner as an available course at my job. Is this cert worth it? Or should I try one of the more advanced ones ? The data analytics one for example but wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to get through as a beginner. Will it look good on my resume?

How hard is the AWS solutions architect associate exam? I’ve done the Azure fundamentals cert so I have an understanding of general cloud concepts. Just trying to figure out if I would need to take the AWS cloud practitioner exam (which sounds like it would be very similar to azure fundamentals) before doing the solutions architect test or not
