Which AWS cert to go for? Registering for a training for either developer or solutions architect. I work side by side with developers in my current role but am leaning solutions architect. Don’t really know anything about cloud so thinking I just want a learning experience that doesn’t overlap with what I do now. Only hesitation is if I don’t like it, what was the point? Thoughts?

Would go with the Architect associate first and then go from there. I have all of three associate certs and went in this order: Architect -> Developer -> SysOps -> Architect Pro is what I’m studying for now

If you are brand new to cloud, solutions architect will give you a great broad view of all of the different services available.

If you don’t really know anything about cloud, AWS practitioner is great to start. Gives you overview of various AWS services, you can figure out if you enjoy it and then go for the solutions architect one

What’s the process to get certified?

I was nominated for Cloud Institute (I think just by virtue of being GPS CCG CBO, no idea really). But I’ve heard this 10 week program doesn’t actually prep you for the exam so basically the process is study for a month after the program and pay to take a test like M1 said

Like everyone else says. Solutions architect for broad view. You’re already working with developers so I don’t think you’re so green that you should do practitioner.

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022.

I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.
