Would a company give me a chance in cloud with aws SAA and aws security specialty in your opinion ?

Hi fishes,

Could you please let me know what is the starting Salary of AWS SAA profile.

Hi guys,
I am currently looking for new opportunities.
Skills - Linux and AWS (certified SAA) with experience in Jenkins and Docker.

YOE - 2.7yrs

Can someone refer me in other IT companies

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year. This seems very low considering what I’ve seen for average SA salaries for those who hold the AWS SAA certification. Was hoping for some insight on this and if I should seek more compensation. Thanks!

Currently certified in AWS (CCP, SAA, and Security) and GCP (Security Engineer and Cloud Architect).

Any recommendations on Azure certs to pursue?

Hey Fishes ,
I am a QA/SDET with 8 YOE , good in building framework for UI and API Testing , right now working on improving coding (DSA) and AWS (SAA certification). I am at 25 LPA now and my aim is to get in FAANG what all i need to get in my bucket to crack that (or atleast improve my chance of getting in ), please guide me .

For people who are AWS SAA certified, what is a good reading resource (book) that I can rely on, instead of on online course like Udemy. I somehow feel good only after reading some material than listening to the classes. Has anyone passed the exam just by reading and practicing, without watching any videos?

I am currently in a “data-centric” role, as in I do a lot of SQL writing, unwinding python/php/java code to understand how systems work, and proposing solutions to either automate processes or eliminate redundancies.

I am wanting to get into cloud architecture, is this too much of a stretch given I don’t have hands on coding experience? I am AWS SAA certified but still feeling like that’s not enough

Folks that have gotten their AWS SAA, once you updated your LinkedIn, did you notice a new influx of recruiters reach out to you?

I’m currently in ERP and really want to get into cloud. Currently hold the Azure Fundamentals, AWS SAA, and GCP security certs. Any suggestions on what I can do to increase my chance to get into cloud?

Hi all,

I am working as a DevOps Engineer for past 3 years and I am interested in moving to cloud. I have cleared my Aws saa exam and planning to search for a cloud related job. How should I approach the job market now... What kind of things interviewers will be expecting from me if I want to switch to cloud. Please enlighten me.

Any firms actively hiring candidates for public sector cloud? I have years of consulting experience serving civilian federal agencies (public trust), AWS-SAA and CSM certified. Looking for opportunities in PS cloud as a cloud consultant/solutions architect. Would love an internal referral and/or a chance to learn more about the opportunities. Can provide resume upon request. Anyone who has anything, please DM me! Thanks 🙏🏼

Studying for the AWS SAA. Do I need to the hands on labs in the training (using udemy) or is the exam more theory based?

Amazon Certificated Developer Associate (DVA-C01) vs Amazon Certificated Solutions Architect (SAA-C02)

Which one should be considered, provided zero AWS experience and current tech stack is Java, Spring Boot, Microservices ?

Your suggestion with why to choose any one of them would be helpful.

lapplied for few SA roles at AWS
after getting the SAA certificate and
some badges like the "WAF" and
"Advanced Migration". I also
optimized my resume recently trying
to match what AWS would look for,
but I did not get any 1st call or
Screening interview!
Ialso applied to some of the roles
using friend's referral. I have more
than 15 years in IT infrastructure
mainly in Storage systems (EMC,
Hitachi) What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Need to recertify my AWS-SAA cert. any recommendations on best resources given the new test format (SAA-CO2)?

How long does it take to get the result after AWS-SAA exam?

Hi guys! I recently cleared the AWS CCP and look forward to preparing for SAA. Can someone please guide? Too many resources available but with the CA02 I would need some recommendations for courses, timelines, practice tests, etc . No prior experience with cloud. TIA

What is more difficult to pass, the AWS Solutions Architect Professional or the AWS security specialty exam?

Got my SAA over the summer.

Just cleared AWS SAA few days back . Will AWS CDA help to understand and clear AWC Pro. Or can I directly prepare for Pro.

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

Will be getting a 12 week old puppy this weekend. Have been doing a lot of research on how to manage separation anxiety, but curious to see if anyone has any concrete tips (that worked for your pup)?

Do any NYC golfers know if the Chelsea piers range pricing includes balls? I know they have that automatic teeing system so feels like it would have to.

Why are engineers so difficult to recruit? Sometimes they make me feel stupid lol.

I'm curious to know how many (and which) tech companies have resumed physical onsite interviews in their offices?

Does anyone have a go-to "odd" or unconventional question you like to ask candidates to keep them on their toes or see how they react when put on the spot?

Is there a way of bypassing the H1B lottery? I was told by an external recruiter that if I joined their London team, after a year I could go through H1B process without the lottery. My preference is to remain with Deloitte and transfer - can Deloitte put me through without the lottery? Are there stipulations such as minimum tenure or degree types etc?

I got an offer from Infosys. My manager says they will retain me by providing the same offer what I got in Infosys, i have put my resignation and my manager is calling me on weekly basis and saying that he is talking with senior leadership. Will TCS retain me? Suggestions please. I heard TCS has stopped allocating funds for retaintion is that true?

Hi Fishes,

How is Booz Allen cyber strategy and risk management consulting? Got a recruiter inquiry

Anyone in a FAANG looking for a cyber manager. DM me please! (Generalist - Focus on governance, compliance, risk and strategy)

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

Currently working in an IT audit role, what is the best way to transition into cyber ?

Currently a senior with 2.5 YOE(not including 7 months of internships). I want to apply to Pwc Senior Cyber Risk position, but the minimum YOE is 3. Is it worth my time applying for the role? Will I get eliminated off the bat due to YOE?

How did you decide your speciality in Cybersecurity? Did you naturally gravitate towards one area?

Has anyone left cyber for another technical field (I.e. software engineer) ?

Currently stuck in risk but interested in Cyber. Have done one related engagement from a regulatory perspective. But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated

Anyone familiar with Istari-Global and their collective of cyber risk companies? What’s their perception in the market? Opportunity to join US team. Thanks!

I have a younger family member (almost 13) who is very interested in cybersecurity. How can this person learn and grow in a safe manner if he/she isn’t near a city with youth clubs and etc? Idea is to reinforce ethics, but this material is far too advanced for the parents.

Any BCG Platinion Cyber folks here?
What kinna work do you guys do? Planning to make the switch after 5 years with Uncle D. Wanna hear from you guys about culture, projects and areas of expertise.

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.

Anyone ever heard of or worked for Sygnia?
