Hey all, new to fish bowl and the Cyber Security Bowl as well. Been in the industry going on 11 years now in Security/Cybersecurity risk management. My employer is looking for volunteers to do AWS cloud security courses and training to obtain certifications as we have clients requiring the skill set. Just looking to get an idea of what the course offering looks like for AWS certs and the work load. Cheers!

Certified Cloud Practitioner is their base level cert. Pretty easy - you could do it in about 2 weeks.

Solution Architect Associate - I would give this a month.

I would take 4-6 weeks for the Security Specialty certification.

Search Reddit for more details, there are a lot of tips and tricks there too.

What are people’s thoughts on CS masters degrees? I’m not talking about the professional ones designed for non-CS undergrads, but a proper masters degree from a good school.

I don’t have a CS background in undergrad, but most prereqs are knocked out.

Not satisfied at my current job and want to transition to tech.

I have recently started thinking about getting into tech sales. If you could start over and choose tech sales or SWE, which would you go with, taking total compensation, WLB, and career satisfaction into consideration?
