3 days. Just read the white paper, take practice questions and do the exam readiness videos from AWS.

I didn't know it was public..but ok.

Is there a list of white papers which cover the full syllabus?

Are you referring to the exam guide as a white paper?

Know the services, memorize the customer tiers—I.e. at what level can you be assigned a TAM, what is your support call times in case of escalations etc. It’s not going to beat you up on technical concepts (I.e. specific EC2-Nitro IOPS scenarios)

Commenting to follow, please share helpful links/docs for Cert Cloud Practitioner and Solution Architect if you have... SA exam schedule for 6/1 and consuming everything I can.

Studying right now and taking it next week. Get the udemy practice exams and go through them. If you want a full course, use a cloud guru

1. Read the white paper
2. Watch A Cloud Guru videos (12 hours)
3. Practice test

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good?

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Anyone with psychologist partners or friends? Trying to help my wife figure out next steps in her career. Currently is a clinical psychologist seeing about 20 ppl/week for 120-130 dollars a person (she currently takes insurance). IMO this limits her overall earning potential. Trying to figure out if she could: drop insurance and charge more, scale out and build her own practice, and/or work more (could maybe see 26-28 ppl/week). Curious if anyone can share thoughts or brain power!
