How helpful is the Google IT certificate? I'm trying to land my first help desk job. Do I have a shot at getting one of these roles before earning a CompTIA A+?

Haven't seen an actual review of it yet. Though I've seen a lot of people asking about it.

Cleared my AWS SAA cert now working on AZ-104!

Why not SAP/Security Specialist?

I'm planning to sit for the latter later in the year

I had to clear the AWS SAA before nominations started for the certification drive. Unfortunately I cleared my exam after the nomination window. Otherwise would have opted for Security speciality or SAP.

Ah, I meant why not go for the AWS Certified Security - Specialty instead of an Azure certification?

[–] br3ad@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AWS SAA was a prerequisite for the security speciality in the certification drive but I cleared my exam after the nomination window and it doesn't look like I can change it at this point.

I don't quite know of this certification drive you speak about: is this specific to your company?

I have a 50% off voucher since I sat for the SAA recently, I'll just use that hehe

[–] br3ad@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. My company has a certification drive where it provides a voucher for free of cost.
