| Should I get a Cisco Certification at 16, or should I wait? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:04 AM PDT I'm a 16 year old, and I'm looking to get either a CCNP Collaboration or Wireless during the time I have off from school during COVID-19. However, one of my friends mentioned that I wouldn't really be able to use it until I'm 18, and it would only be good for another year after that. Should I take the time to do it? Or should I hold off for now? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:59 AM PDT I'm entering my sophomore year soon in the Fall. Currently I don't have any work experience in the technical field but I know the basic foundations of Java and Python. What Certs would be good to start out with in order to beef up my resume and increase my knowledge extensively in order to either find a good internship/job in the coming years? I plan to work in Cybersecurity in the private sector ( tech/retail ) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:04 AM PDT PC Network Support Tech Can anyone tell me how much one can learn in this position with a defense contractor like Northrop Grumman coming in with no hands on experience ? Where can this position take you? [link] [comments]  |
| Suggestions regarding my certification study plan? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:48 AM PDT Hey everyone, to be straightforward, my goal is to be a "Cloud Automation Engineer" (I understand that job titles don't really matter). I currently have zero IT experience and am looking to get any type of help desk role to start building experience. I wanted to see if you guys had any opinions on my certification study plan. I completely understand certifications don't mean you're qualified to do the job, I just feel like having certifications checks two things off: - HR - Baseline knowledge of what you studied for I currently know Python, and have my Security+. My next goals are: 2020: - CompTIA Network+ Not taking the CCNA because I've done a bit of research and found out that the amount of networking knowledge learned from the Network+ is sufficient for the cloud. 2021: - RHCSA - AWS SAA Let me know your opinions, thanks.

| Just wondering if this is true... Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:55 AM PDT Can you get a job by just taking the CompTIA A+ course/exam and having that qualification? [link] [comments]  |
| How to know what roles I qualify for? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:21 AM PDT I have an Associate of Science in Information Systems Technology. A lot of my courses focused on software development such as java and sql and classes that would have prepared me for network+ and a+. I only have one cert which is my s+ which I very recently obtained after not being involved with that type of It for 2 years. I do not currently work in IT but I have 6 months of experience from 3 years ago as a very basic tier 1 help desk worker. Just wondering since I'm getting back into it with finishing my s+ recently should I go for any other certain before trying to apply for anything or what job titles can I search for on LinkedIn that id qualify for?

| What minor would be best for IT Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:25 AM PDT I am between Project Management and Business Analytics. What minor between the two or any others can you recommend would look great for employers and would actually assist me in the field greatly? My minor needs to be outside my school of engineering and computing . I just finished my freshman year in college. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:30 AM PDT Huawei Course Like other people said Cisco is the best and there are resources around the world easy access and tons of it.... i live in Cambodia which is a country in Asian. My firm and other firms in here is rarely use CISCO due to its price. So first I thought of getting into the CCNP but later decide to go with Huawei track instead. So I've been searching around for Huawei Study but I got no luck, the official Study with Huawei is Chinese and his English is not so good. I'd love some recommendation on Huawei course. Give me your opinions and experience pls. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:04 AM PDT I am currently in college for mis. I believe I am going to be going the data analytics route, and would preferably like to go to grad school for cyber security. What certifications would be beneficial for both data analytics and cyber security? [link] [comments]  |
| Wanting to get certified, but I have some questions. Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:24 AM PDT So as the title states, I'm wanting to learn a trade skill, and I thought that some sort of IT/computer tech job would be a good fit. However, I had some questions about the best way to get started. Apologies if this has been asked before, or if this isn't the right place to post. First off, are there jobs out there that will help you pay for the certifications? Would I need to pay for one or two of them on my own before I would even qualify for those jobs? What are the best starting jobs to look for? Second, how important is it to have a degree? My current job would help pay for me to go to school for this kind of stuff, but is it necessary to go that route? [link] [comments]  |
| Securing a Job in Another State Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:49 PM PDT Hey guys, Posting this on a throwaway account, I post here pretty frequently but I could use some advice of my own this time :). I'm planning on moving up to the Rhode Island / Massachusetts area, which is about an 8 hour drive away from where I currently live. Does anyone have any recommendations for applying to jobs or finding work somewhere that far away? I've just been applying via Indeed and seeing what I can find. I know the job market is super bad right now so my hopes are not super high, nor am I in a huge rush. I've lived here for about 15 years (25 now) so finding a job and place to live out of state is pretty daunting. Is there anything different I should consider about the application/hiring process than if I was just getting a job here? Of course it'll take longer, just trying to cover all my bases. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:45 PM PDT Just a sanity check post. I applied for a management position with my company and believe an offer is going to be made. I feel that I've got pretty strong people skills and think I can handle the management side of things well enough once I get my feet wet. The only reservation I've got is that it is in a totally different technology stack than I work in today (currently working in Windows, would be managing folks working in Unix). How big of a problem is this realistically? I've dabbled in Unix a bit over the years, but it's definitely not one of my strong suits. I would be strictly a people manager, no engineering responsibilities, so I think that works in my favor but I'm curious what reddit thinks. [link] [comments]  |

| What's the best book to get into RHEL for my RHCSA exam? Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:54 PM PDT Title! What's the best book that (from start to finish) guides me through the world of RHEL7-8 and prepares me for the certification exam? I actually had a class on RHEL along with a VM set for me, although I took no Advantage of it and didn't really do well due to personal issues and Covid destroying my workflow. I want to get my certification over the summer. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to start on the path to being an information security analyst and I know nothing! Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:41 PM PDT Basic information: I would say I'm okay with computers and I have always been a fast learner, but I've never taken an actual computer science class so my knowledge is pretty basic. It turns out through my work I can get my education almost completely covered, so I'm eager and excited to go forward with it and get into information security. My biggest questions now is whether I should just settle for the information security certificate program or go for the full AAS in networking administration/support with a security specialization? I know I have to do other programs like A+ and Network+, but I have to pay for those myself (as well as anything above an AAS). Is a certificate enough to get a good job, or will I have a significantly easier time if I go for the degree? Or are both of these options nothing special and I should be setting my sights no lower than a bachelor's? Also will I be fine to start any of the above options with basic computer knowledge and the ability to frantically google questions, or do I really need to start with introduction to computers classes? These aren't part of either program so they would be extra. [link] [comments]  |
| Need advise for getting started Posted: 24 Apr 2020 04:49 PM PDT I'm looking to get started with a career in tech. Currently I have about as much knowledge as your typical dedicated of PC gamer. Building and diagnosing problems of my own machines etc. I'm looking for advise cause I really just don't know where to start. I've heard community college and teaching yourself to get certificates is a good way to go. I would have to do online community college or self learning due to my current career, it's just not possible to learn in a classroom (and also the corona stuff). I know there's lots of different fields to go into, web design/development or whatever the term is seems pretty cool to me, but I'm just not 100% sure. Just looking for some general guidance and helpful hints. Help me save myself from my awful career choice! [link] [comments]  |
| Is it still worth getting MSCA: Windows Server 2016? Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:45 AM PDT I'm just finishing up school and my plan was to complete the MSCA: Windows Server exams, before they get retired. In school this year, we had entire courses dedicated to Exam 70-740 and Exam 70-742 -- and I did quite well in them. I currently work part-time as a network technician and would like to increase my value as an employee / career opportunities. I like that the MSCA cert's are good for life, and being a late-comer to the IT industry (32 years old) I thought it would be good to get a certificate that could stick on my resume for the next 5-6 years. The big question I have is -- are the MSCA certs going to still be relevant in the next few years? Microsoft is pushing Azure / Cloud hard lately... and personally I would like to get into cloud computing at some point in the future. Should I just take the modern approach and look at the new Azure certs? Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Suddenly thrown into the Telecom team. Where do I start? Posted: 24 Apr 2020 08:14 PM PDT I've been in IT for about three years, mostly in Help Desk/junior SA roles. I've always been willing to try and learn anything, but feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. It was pretty sudden, but I was told I would be working with a voice network team now. So far I have had training sessions and am furiously taking notes, as this is pretty much my first foray into telephony. I'm mostly working on older Nortel/Avaya equipment, clearing alarms for downed T1s, card issues, etc. So far I've been looking over PBXbook (an excellent resource), but figured I'd ask if anybody has any good bits of advice or resources to get myself more familiar with this field. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How hard is MSCA/ the new md 100 101 compared to A+, Net+, Security+? Posted: 24 Apr 2020 02:15 PM PDT I recently acquired my A+, Net+, and Sec+. It took me a year to study for A+ because it was my first cert and I didn't know what to expect. The Net+ and Sec+ were both difficult, but it took me about a month or a month and a half. How hard are the microsoft server certs compared to these, and how long/easy would they come to me considering I have the trifecta? How long have you all taken to complete the msca as well?

| Posted: 24 Apr 2020 01:48 PM PDT As I reflect on the mistakes I made accepting my current job, I wonder if my assumption that being hired as a developer meant that I wouldn't have help desk tasks offloaded on me was a big mistake.I didn't bother to even ask. The assumption was that a company the size of the one I work for would have at least some modicum of dedicated low tier support roles established. What met me was an almost immediate inundation with trivial support work that I had to somehow balance with an atypical development load (a different story there all together). I mean, as I apply for new jobs should I be including this topic in interviews? Like, "oh do you guys have a help desk role filled or even existing or is the expectation that these tasks be divided among all technology staff despite background and job description?" It just seems to be ridiculous that I should even have to ask something like that. Is it normal for organizations to have absolutely no low level support role? Like none, not even outsourced?

| Should I finish my degree in an unrelated field or switch to WGU for IT? Posted: 24 Apr 2020 01:34 PM PDT I have 60+ credit hours completed in an "Aviation Administration" degree but I am switching careers to IT. Would it be better to switch to WGU or just finish my degree in aviation since I'm half way done? Cost to finish would be about the same, but I think it might take longer to stitch to WGU. My other thought is just focus on certs and do my degree once I have a better idea of what I want to specialize in when I have some experience. I'm still working as a pilot and haven't worked full time in IT for over 10 years. edited for clarity. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
