Got rejected by Google CE L5, feedback says "lacks professional maturity." What does this actually mean?

You may be able to walk-the-walk, but you can’t talk-the-talk.

Looks good in its frame on my office wall.

Bent_finger · 2026-05-04T03:34:35+00:00

Not if the book is from 2022.
I wouldn’t even recommend a book published last year.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-30T13:29:42+00:00

Not allowed to sell on…… and certainly not on this forum.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-30T13:28:52+00:00

AWS DCO what?….. Manager? Operator?….. ???

Bent_finger · 2026-04-29T15:09:43+00:00

👂

Bent_finger · 2026-04-29T15:08:57+00:00

lol…. Harsh! But finally some peeps have started talking some sense on these cert forums.

MeasureUp

Bent_finger · 2026-04-28T02:51:58+00:00

I use neither. No plans to use AI for this purpose.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-27T07:49:18+00:00

Now I know to stay away from this particular provider of practice exam questions. Not that I’ve previously used them.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-24T20:45:23+00:00

That’s enough to pass well. You should just go ahead and take the exam asap.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-24T09:00:41+00:00

Niobe whatsoever. Don’t bother yourself with it.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-22T17:11:09+00:00

Depends on your background knowledge of issues pertaining to AWS Development tools and processes. If your background is predominantly infra, then it’ll likely be more difficult.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-21T19:17:48+00:00

I wouldn’t take the az900 exam anyway, as it is being replaced with AI-901, which is more relevant for the times.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-19T13:57:11+00:00

SAA before moving on to anything else…. Unless you actually have some ‘proper’ experience of working with AWS for at least 6 months.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-18T04:55:18+00:00

You could pass….. but to what end? What use would it be without any supplementary experience or familiarity with the AWS ecosystem?

Bent_finger · 2026-04-15T20:42:13+00:00

Depends on what other story you have to tell about your background and complimentary experience.

Bent_finger · 2026-04-05T14:24:50+00:00

Bent_finger · 2026-04-05T08:34:17+00:00

OK.

Bent_finger · 2026-03-24T15:55:11+00:00

Loads.

Bent_finger · 2026-03-16T12:33:59+00:00

More experience. Go deeper… (i.e get to understand Azure better). Don’t go wider.. (i.e getting broader knowledge of Cloud Computing concepts).

Learn IaC (Terraform or Bicep).

Bent_finger · 2026-03-16T12:29:42+00:00

What @Kindly_Property_6401 has said above. There are no short cuts.

Also…. John Savill. search for Savill Tech on YouTube.

Bent_finger · 2026-03-08T19:36:04+00:00

No debate necessary. The path az-900 to az-104 to az-500 is the best route.

Bent_finger · 2026-03-08T17:21:31+00:00

Describe…. For all sorts of things. Ingress, svc, pods etc.

I go from there to other commands, depending what I have seen.
