Any tips from moving out of advisory and into consulting? I've helped with SAP implementation and have my AWS CCP. Really desperate to get out of risk compliance world tbh

Have any of you pursued a graduate certificate in cyber security? If so, did you find any value in it? I currently have Bachelors and Sec+. I’m looking to obtain my AWS CCP in the few coming weeks and was looking for what to get next. I entertain the idea of continuing to pursue my education but I don’t want to incur too much debt with a masters.

Currently certified in AWS (CCP, SAA, and Security) and GCP (Security Engineer and Cloud Architect).

Any recommendations on Azure certs to pursue?

Which is the best source to study and clear AWS CCP in 10 days? I want to book the online test on Jan 1 or 2.

Hello,
OD/OCM practitioner here currently with USI, looking to connect with leads from Deloitte Canada. Have about 6YOE, DE implementations/tech adoptions. Niche would be Finance and payroll processes (strong exp. in Finance transformation projects). Also, an AWS cloud practitioner and can take up cloud transformations projects. Versed with SAP SF, SAP S/4HANA, Fiori (niche), Oracle JDE and Google cloud (few modules). Anyone willing to connect/provide referral, tryna understand the process.

I have 10 years of experience. Mostly in Unix, C++ and Visual C++ and MS SQL. I developed interest in cloud computing as like many others and was able to clear AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solution Architect Associate and Professional, AWS Security. Along with these I was able to clear 8 Azure certifications as well: 3 fundamentals, Azure Security, Azure Developer, Azure DevOps and Azure Architect.
Now my main question, can I try to switch on Cloud Architect or some other similar cloud roles?

Does anyone have any tips on studying for the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification exam?

Hey all, would love some advice. I’m a Business Analyst with 5 YOE and minimal technical skills. And I’m really unhappy where I’m at. Very underpaid, and feel like I’m limited in job opportunities. I want to become more technical but no idea where to even start! I was thinking about starting with a certification but most seems really tough to learn as a newbie. Any guidance/advice on which certs to look at? Was thinking AWS cloud practitioner as a starting point? Any help welcomed!!

Is the AWS cloud practitioner cert meaningful to get or is it just another basic cert that’s useless?

HNY! For those of you that took the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam, how did you prepare for it? Study materials, hours, etc?

Those who took the AWS CCP exam - do you get questions like “how much does a storage type cost per GB per month” in the exam? Trying to figure out whether this level of detail is required to be memorized for the exam

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.

As a tech consultant, is the AWS cloud practitioner good for an analyst or is the AWS solutions architect more necessary?

I want to further develop my BI and DE skills. Currently exploring paths of AWS certs with some others mixed in, does this seem like a good strategy:
AWS CCP>Tableau DS> ICAgile (ICP)> AWS SAA>AWS DA > PMI CAPM > and then maybe tableau data analyst or Powerbi.
