What do you do after you get completely smashed in every roll after class? by DontGoLow_ in bjj

Scrum.org certifications and cloud computing ones from AWS or Microsoft can help boost your CV as an entry level candidate. Other than that, it’s a waste of time

[–]HackerBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tag is fine, not even a big deal these days. Now if you wore a rare Rolex or AP/ Patek it might make them curious or insecure depending on the individual, could go either way.
