I want to get my AWS cloud practitioner essentials certification and am started to look at the resources to study for it. How many hours/week do you think I would reasonably need to dedicate if I want to get this done in 6-8 weeks?

AWS Cloud Practitioner is pretty straight forward. I’m at AWS and you should probably go straight to the Solutions Architect Associate. Adrian Cantrill has the best material and Jon Bonso has the best exam questions.

It really only took me two weeks because on and off studying due to work. You can knock it out quickly if you dedicate some time

I used Udemy with a guy name Stephan (sp?). You can download a very detailed deck and just read through it. I thought I would spend weeks studying, but in reality I probably spent 6 hours total with another 2 hours watching the video summaries the day of the exam. You get 100 minutes to do the exam and I finished in 12 minutes and a couple of weeks later I learned that I missed 2 questions.

You need practitioner to really do the more advanced ones so you might as well knock this one out.

Awesome, thanks. I really just need the slide deck to read through it. I have watched some videos on AWS website to get myself familiarized with the terminology.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

Referrals are, for many, our bread and butter. Some attorneys often encourage clients and prospective with positive relationships to leave reviews on platforms like Avvo and Justia. Others avoid this like the plague due to the implications and risk of receiving, and more so responding to, bad reviews.

We know against the rules to incentivize through compensation referrals from your clients; however, what do you do or where do you limit incentivizing clients to make referrals, if at all?
