Certifications, for me, have proven to only be worth the investment (time, money, etc.) if you are already working for an employer that provides additional benefits (salary, promotion, etc.) for you obtaining them.

If you are being paid while obtaining them or they are free then I would recommend always getting them if they align with your career goals.

So in your case then, how were you introduced to the IT world? Have you done education, or some form of online courses?

It depends. You get some knowledge but the certificates don't guarantee you employment opportunities immediately. But it's still a good start to have certificates, no knowledge lost. IT is quite vast so it's important to have a direction. If you really need certifications, I'd recommend getting industry standard certifications like CompTIA. Start with ComTIA A+ then work your way up. Hands on experience is also important. Good luck.

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
