I've lurked this thread for a lil bit tryna soak up game. Figured I should just ask directly. What would be a good entry point for someone without an IT background. My main interest is web development but I'm open to learning other lanes as well

Look up manual software testing. Its good money and doesnt require much technical skill

Gentlemen, this is the last week in which I do not have a certification in IT. Next Thursday I attempt to get the Azure 900 certification. Been studying for it since August. Doesn’t seem difficult at all. I’m ready for it

Thats a good fucking look. Like a great fucking look. Azure is the present and future of technologys architecture.

What does the Azure 900 cert cover? Is it building environments on the cloud?

The fundamentals of Azure. Virtual machines, cost of service, etc

Good shit. Building out a VM on Azure cloud is super in demand. Companies now have Azure Admins that do just that. Someone needs a VM, puts in the request, you create the VM and give them the login creds.

You learn how to build servers and then deploy applications to them and you set. Then if you learn how to terraform and automate those deploys, you set for life.

Overall, good shit. Anything Azure is fire.
 
Im studying for my AWS Solutions Architect Associate


My company is getting some new work thats all cloud development. Opportunity to work from home. The lead for that new contract is on my current one now and is planning on taking me with him to the new work.

I had everything set up perfectly. Scheduled the test for 8pm. They even let me log in 30 minutes before. When they were checking my credentials, their program that I was using all of a sudden shut down. Called their IT support and I was on the phone with them for an hour. They claimed it was my WiFi, so I drove to my sisters house. Did the same thing and they claimed that the issue was the WiFi. Then I went to my parents house and they said yet again it was the WiFi. I was like fuck that and yelled at them. At that point it was 11:30pm and my laptop battery was about to die. They said they would call me about retaking the exam. Those Indian idiots better let me retake it
