Cert up

Follow my dreams...

Recently wasn’t told that the 15th would be my last day at my job due to budget cuts and the government . Well here I am

Take a day or 2 to relax then start looking for the next opportunity

File unemployment and find a new job.

Take the summer off and enjoy life and then go again in September.

I'm doing what I would do - heading back to college and collecting certs like they're going out of style.

I'd open a cafe and live around beach area while supporting the community.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?
