It's easier for me to find a job as an Architect as all I need is to know the outline AWS/Azure tools and some ability to bullshit. Compare that to having convince recruiters that my background in MATLAB modeling can be transferable to do Python development. I'm happy to bullshit and collect a paycheck.
- witcher 5y agoSure, you can fake that you do the job in any role if you want. Question is, do you enjoy doing this, going to such work every day?
- wanderingmind 5y agoNope I don't think anyone can enjoy faking for a long time. but its hell of a lot better than going hungry without a job.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI think the key question is - does he perform any worse than someone with the 'right' background? I am not sure
- dragonelite 5y agoknowing AWS and Azure is like insta hire, only reason i studied for AZ-204 certificate just to fill up my resume and the boss paid for it. 3 weeks later I forgot like 75% of the material xD. It was really more a strategic carrier move then a love for cloud knowledge move.
- pjmlp 5y agoThe large majority of certificates are like that, sure the HN and Reddit crowd might shit on them and how they are useless, however in enterprise computing they are the key for even being entitled to buy from certain providers. So it isn't the knowledge one gets from the certificates, rather the checklist from having them in first place.
