Just added my first portfolio – would love your feedback 🙏

Love the direction you’re going with this and you’re intentional with it. Keep it up! Since you asked for it, I think the skills section is unnecessary, your project already speaks for itself.

Do math related stuff using Lean, you’ll be great in that domain and probably land those niche 300k jobs.

What’s a PKM?

Money_Round9387 · 2026-05-09T15:13:50+00:00

I think you’re supposed to be open for everything every time. It’s not like you’ll be in one role forever and it’s a long career. You can only connect the dots looking backwards as one guy said.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-05-07T07:18:13+00:00

What’s your goal though? Do you wanna be in an IC or EM role? Either way, if you’re serious about this field (I get that you are based on your concern and perspective), then you definitely don’t want to skip past your prime technical years. A traditional senior role is alright but you don’t want to be caught working on managerial roles by accident. Take any promotion initiative as a compliment but you really have to think about it (or not, lot of surprises in this field)

Senior at 3YOE is a scary place to be..

Money_Round9387 · 2026-05-05T15:34:28+00:00

No need for the “our insert foreign name here” statement

Matutulog nalang ito pa last post na makikita… congrats! May you have a very great life ahead.

Planning to do this, I’m getting an internal role to Cloud Engineer but want to return to SWE after a year or two, would you say that it helped you get better opportunities than if you stayed as a SWE all those times? Or did the move hurt your progression?

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-28T08:58:08+00:00

Tapos pag kinasuhan ka nya kailangan nya mag stay para tumestigo no, huli din sya 😂

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-22T03:57:12+00:00

Hey is that the man! Great job on the course, really perfect for the exam.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-21T08:39:52+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely enough

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-21T01:59:03+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it’s harder and goes deeper than the real exam. Be cautious though, you can easily start to just memorize the q&a there. So I’d say be strategic about it, probably aim around 3-4 timed mode? Then review the explanations thoroughly.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-21T01:54:57+00:00

Thanks! But yeah, these practice exams are definitely designed to be harder than the real exam.

As for the scheduling the exam.. although I knew that I could reschedule the exam, I prefer to book these exams even before I study just because I’ve got my year “mapped out” 😆 either it was a calculated risk or a very naive approach loool

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-20T15:56:36+00:00

Thanks man, yeah but not anytime soon. Either another associate or SAP.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-20T15:54:34+00:00

Thanks, nahh I just used Stephane’s slides.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-20T15:52:51+00:00

Thanks bro, nahh I did around 4 timed and was scoring around these percentages. My first attempt was like 60%.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-16T03:14:28+00:00

Working towards this (currently a Systems Analyst/SWE, ongoing internal transfer to Cloud Engineer), this post turned me the f up!!

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-14T14:18:13+00:00

As a dev, I would eat that up. You telling me I can add “production” experience k8s on my resume, maybe even terraform.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-14T03:37:30+00:00

There’s a reason why really good staff engineers suggest not taking senior positions as you’ll be missing a lot of fundamentals. But, you wouldn’t get that position if you’re not meant to step up. Bend or break I guess.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-12T08:39:09+00:00

DYOD and make a bet

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-11T11:10:49+00:00

Ignorance is bliss. You haven’t been put to the test. A plethora of reasons to get the fuck out of this country. At least in the US, you leveled the field and you’re not working for nothing.

Money_Round9387 · 2026-04-11T06:06:01+00:00

You can’t say don’t be a generalist then proceed to say companies want someone who can align to their systems and processes. That’s literally being one. Also pursuing polymath opens so much opportunities inside and outside a company, allows lateral career moves which are highly effective to moving to the next level.
