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 Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas?

I’d rather not put a title behind my name, but if I were looking to attract the attention of recruiters on LinkedIn (legal and public accounting) would using “JD” or “Esq.” behind my name help my name pop up in a search?

Thinking about my Roth 401k… I’m always gonna contribute at least 6% for the company match (that’s a no-brainer) but is there any benefit to investing more than 6%? Since my 401k contributions are after-tax earnings, couldn’t I make more money if I instead invested additional contributions myself through Robinhood and have the freedom to use/move it as I please? Any insight would be helpful.
