Very easy and there are plenty of ressources on Udemy for ~$12.

Easy stuff. If you don’t know much about AWS products, that part can be a bit intimidating. So just make sure you gather enough to know what some of popular products do (vs trying to go super deep into architecture)

They don’t ask trick questions

I have not attempted that yet, sorry. But I assume you can get through that with udemy courses as well. You don’t need big time AWS experience to pass the exam

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
