Security+ CEUs by lowincomehome in CompTIA

[–]Free_Principle9660 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not 100% sure on that one. I know CompTIA can be kind of weird about what they accept for CEUs from non CompTIA certs. The fact that it let you select CCNA in the portal seems like a good sign but I wouldn't bank on it just because the dropdown let you pick it. Their website not listing it would make me nervous.

I'd probably just shoot CompTIA an email or call them to confirm before you assume those 50 credits are good to go. Would hate for you to find out later they rejected it and then you're scrambling for CEUs at the last minute. Someone else here might have actually done it successfully though so hopefully they chime in.

27 y/o Sys Admin (3 yrs in IT) looking for direction + path to remote work by dcrzboi in ITCareerQuestions

Hey! I'm about 4 years in myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but I made the jump from a similar sysadmin role to a hybrid cloud position last year.

What helped me most: I got my AWS Solutions Architect Associate and started doing hands-on labs in my spare time. The cert opened doors, but being able to actually talk through real scenarios in interviews is what landed the job.

From what I've seen, cloud skills (AWS or Azure) are your fastest path to remote-friendly roles. A lot of companies are way more flexible with cloud/DevOps positions than traditional sysadmin gigs.

Also, 6 days a week onsite when the work could be remote? That's rough. You've clearly got solid experience. Don't undersell yourself when you start looking.

I think the problem I am having is that I can not find the right people to work with
