I just passed my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner test a couple of weeks ago. I am looking for a sales role and there are a ton of consulting companies to pick from and I am wondering which ones to put on the short list? I am based in the LA area and have over 10 years of sales experience. Looking at DoiT International, who seem to have a good reputation. Not sure about Onica after they were acquired by RackSpace. Thanks for any good companies you can share.

How long did it take you to study for it

You can knock out the courses in a month or two are in two weeks if you cram. Do the practice tests as well. I used Udemy. The actual test was much easier than the practice tests. AWS is also changing the test in September, so you might want to get it done before then.

Steer clear from DoiT. It's a sinking ship and a career suicide.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
