What certifications does /g/ have?

where do you even find jobs with a+/n+/ccna ?

MCP (windows xp cert)
RHCE

RHCE just ticks a checkbox and may help you get an interview for entry level jobs. Having RHCE in no way qualifies you for shit though.

Anybody take the RHCSA? Any tips?

>>59834846
Do you have a job already? Get your employer to pay for rh300.

Either way the tests give you the DVD image which contains all of the documentation. The most important thing is to learn how to use that documentation, especially learn how to get to the selinux documentation.

Rhca level 2, but a few certs are going to be expiring in a couple of months :( time to recert.

CS degree. 75k software engineer job. Fuck certs.

RHSA

>>59834785
lmao

>>59834785
>>59834570

Basically employers see this and assume you cheated to get those certs. I would not list all of your certs, list like two of the best certs max.

>CCNA

This cert is nuts. If anyone is going for this one, download Packet Tracer. It's a really good network simulator. Calling it packet tracer was really dumb because it's actually a full network simulator. You can access an actual IOS console on all the equipment and command prompts on the PCs and servers.

>>59835004

I make like $45k, but in Desktop Support with an IT degree, and I have no certs. Though my department is willing to pay for my tests to get certs, so maybe.

>>59835186
I've been practicing with it. It's really fucking cool to be able to build your own network and get it up and running.

I've also heard about GNS3, but it's nowhere near as easy to use as PT

>>59834846
I safari trialed some van hasenburger guy and trialed linuxacadamy but that was pretty beginner level and the Lab VMs are not worth it.

I'd say van hasenburger it or youtube + configure your own lab VMs with KVM Virtualbox or HyperV and use:
https://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-rhcsa-exam-objectives/

>>59835236
Who is van hasenburger? I tried googling and nothing came up. I've heard good things about linux academy, is it really too basic?

>>59834257
How did you get your first jobs in IT?

>>59835234

We use GNS at trade school but because of the course requirements we had to do exams using some shit on a stick IOS simulator made in the Unity game engine. It might just be because it was the first software I got really used to but I think GNS is better overall.

>>59834257
Linux essentials certified, but that's a super easy

Certs are for people too stupid to get into college or too lazy to put in the work to get a degree.

What certs does /g/ have and do you have a job?
If you do give some cert recommendations

>>59835426
What's the difference? Whether it's college or certs you end up with a piece of paper, only with a certification you end with one that means something.

>>59835448
Piece of paper is only useful for your first job. Doesn't really matter what piece of paper you get.

certified shitposter here

>>59835470
I have both certs and a college degree (B.S. in MIS). The degree isn't really worth shit, and everyone knows it.

Certs don't really mean much either when the shit hits the fan, but at least they are more directly applicable to the job at hand.

>>59835508
certs get you past HR, that's literally their only purpose

Bachelors are good to put on the fridge and for a false sense of superiority. No one gives a shit about them and in the industry they mean nothing

Only an A+ at the moment, trying to get my net+ and sec+ this month or early next month.

Then probably Linux+

>>59835628
Do you have a job or do you hope thats these certs will help you get one?

As someone in a completely unrelated field who wants to shift over to IT, can I learn/study this shit on my own and get certified or do you really need on the job experience to have a chance?

A+ would be the first goal, don't have the time or money at the moment to go back to school and I'd rather not waste another 4 years in that shit when I'm already 30

A+
Net+
Sec+
GCED
GIAC
GCIH

I make poop money though

>>59835658
I'm hoping they'll help me get another job. The A+ helped me get the job I'm currently working at.

My end goal is to CISSP certified and land a job role as a Security Architect in 10 years.

>>59835700
What is your current job?

>>59835668
To take a certification test all you need to do is buy a voucher. Anyone can do it at any time. They won't ask you anything you won't learn from text books. Do a search for some practice exams to see what kind of questions they would ask you.

>>59835668
You can study on your own and get certified but experience is still a must. The certifications help tick boxes in HR really and may get you an interview, but experience trumps all.

It's basic for someone who's been ricing linux for 6+ months and understands config files and basic syntax. The labs and grading don't always work and it's more of a guide than a class.

none, and i'm a network engineer.

suck it

Seriously, do employers actually value your certifications? Do the free shit you get on the Internet have some value or employers only care about the paid ones?

Do certs matter if youre a technician in networking/programming? Does it matter at all once you graduate college?

>>59834785
Kek

>>59837013

When youre starting out, yes. If youre midway through your career and have lots of conections who are worth more than certs, then no.

honestly if you have to ask, then you would probably benefit from having certs.

>>59835544
Bachelors gets your resume read. Anyone's CV without at least a bachelors gets binned automatically. The education doesn't mean shit but having that piece of paper proves you're not a lazy piece of shit who also can't commit to something for the long term. Why would I hire you, invest in your education and training, if you're not willing to do that for yourself?

>>59837208

It's a bolide.
If you keep your eyes open outside at night you'll see a couple every year or so.

>>59837251
They're useful in different ways, if you try to get as many certs as possible you're just be wasting your time since different certs are useful in different fields.

>>59835173
It's a good thing that this is a thread asking for what certs he has and not him posting his resume.

You would think that people hiring are familiar with how the renewal process works if you get higher level certs from the same vendor. It's easy to rack up another certification if you just go for another higher level one instead of just doing CEUs.

>>59835366
GNS3 is a fully functional network emulator as apposed to a simulator like PT. You can do actual things with it.

>>59837409
Seems like this is correct, thanks anon.

>>59837013
Lots of government (US) jobs have them as a requirements.

Between certs, clearance, and a little networking you can easily get a 80k+ contracting job.

None, I'm only 18 and studying for CCNA and RHCSA at the moment, hope to be able to take them in a month or so

>>59835173
What do you mean cheated?

Those are all entry level certs I got while I was in college because all my classes were prep classes for those specific certs. I didn't pick them, like I literally had to take a class called CIT <whatever number> - CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, IS 101 - IC3 Certification, etc. Like, all my associates degree program was consisted of class after class getting me ready to pass a certain certification. My CCNA one was four classes that I took through the Cisco Academy website with my professor as the instructor.

this is the way to go guys, add only 2-3 relevant ones on your resume.

Not that guy but you learn Cisco IOS commands in network+ too

>>59841234
no you dont

>>59841333
Yeah you do, I'm studying the network+ now and they went over setting up cisco switches.

Of course its not on the network+ exam. Not sure why they're teaching it.

>>59841389
I already took the class and I'm certified.

They don't teach you Cisco IOS commands.

>>59835186
do employers care about CCNA? i got one through my college 2 years ago

>>59841403

A lot of Net+ classes do include learning how to use IOS on a basic level. In the course I took it was a whole week. It depends on where you go I guess.

>>59841510
Employers list the certs they care about in the job ad.

Most of the ones I've seen want microsoft server cert, ccna, network+, a+, and VMware certs as a baseline, then whatever specific cert for the job like if it's database admin or linux admin or whatever.

>>59841554
Ah, okay. I didn't know that.

>>59841569
Holy shit. I never realised that the cisco test we took could actually be worth something. It was the CCNA routing and switching cert.

>>59841656
CCNA is probably the most valuable imo. Not just in terms of employers that care, but because it teaches you the fundamentals of network architecture at a pretty deep level which sets you up going forward to understand anything you need to learn that's job specific as a network engineer.

But honestly, there's more demand for microsoft certs these days. Every job ad I see for network admins or sysadmins call for microsoft certs as well as ccna.
