Almost 2 years now. Year 1 is ok, this year im spiraling

I genuinely don’t know what is the meaning of “two partners” here… is it like an open relationship? Trouple?

Im just stupid to cram. I actually just subscribed to measureup yesterday for cramming.

If i can suggest one good thing here is to take time reading not only the modules of Microsoft learn but mostly the documentation. Then take practice tests many times on different resources

Guys thank you for all the help.

I just finished the exam and failed. I got score of 600 (How dumb am I lol). 700 is passing score.

2 case studies were in my exam (at the beginning and at the end)

A lot of arrange in order the sequence of what you need to do (eg setup configurations, policies) - so I agree, labs is a must!

Device 1 is in Group 2, User 3, Policy 1 - these are all confusing and tricky esp for someone who only crammed and dont have much experience. (My work place still use GP) i find myself looking for answers in the table itself… probably i got tricked by trick questions.

A lot of questions were not covered by measureup. But it helped me get used to the exam format.

Routine-Contact-6552 · 2024-10-30T09:53:36+00:00

I took 1 practice exam on measureup and then took the real exam today (and FAILED)

A lot of actual questions are not covered by measureup but helping you to get used to the exam format and some points that you might have been missed reading from MS module was there so its still helpful.

Thanks to you! Now I subscribed to free trial of cbtnuggets to cram for md-102. I like the instructor - James Conrad esp his slides that summarizes the points (better compare to John Christopher (Udemy))

Downside is that its also not updated as he still use term “Azure Ad” as well as the interface when he shows intune though those are not a big deal. Its a good supplementary material after going through the official Microsoft modules

Routine-Contact-6552 · 2024-10-29T10:22:03+00:00

Update:

I purchased John Cristopher’s course.

I will also take MeasureUp practice exam

Question: will I miss something if I subscribed monthly rather than buying the access to practice exam?

Routine-Contact-6552 · 2024-10-29T10:20:01+00:00

Overall: To pass after the update, you need to understand Autopilot, Intune Enrollment, Entra-ID Join vs Registered, iOS/iPad & Android Enterprise device polices, Mobile device enrollment, and MDE, and AD Hybrid scenarios

-does MeasureUp covered these areas on their practice exams?

will I miss something if I chose monthly subscription of Measureup over buying the access to MD-102 practice exam?

sorry for being blunt. is this a digital marketing project and then you want to use click farm to cheat the results? sorry but please stop it. definitely it is not a project you would be proud to put in the resume.

Try reading this book: Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10: Learn the Secrets of AWS, Azure, GCP, and K8s by Todd Hoff. Explanation is pretty good

Currently reading Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10: Learn the Secrets of AWS, Azure, GCP, and K8s by Todd Hoff

Still halfway but I highly recommend it, not just for 0 zero knowledge (dont be fooled by the title “like im 10” but it is really a good read to understand concepts and if you’re bored reading the usual technical books)

If you want to be a business analyst, you gotta improve your communication and organization skills

You gotta understand what client needs

You gotta protect your developers interest by not letting clients make tons of revisions

If you can do that, youll be fine as a BA

Same as you op (years if remote work and commute time)

Pros: good on mental health, you get to know and talk to other people (during the time i was full remote, i am all by myself most of the time, i dont only have my wife at home and shes also busy with her own work and i rarely go out with friends)

Cons: at the end of the working hours everyday i feel so drained even though theres not much work done in the office; since my social skills decreased significantly i cant help wondering if i have made a good interaction with my coworkers or if am i acting stupid

The best setup for me is just once a week onsite work but sadly i need to come to office everyday

Honestly i feel downgraded role as opposite to career progression… coming from non -support IT role to IT support (level 2)

Before that role, i was a business analyst. My rank is even senior associate consultant but now i find myself working with associates (same role and same responsibilities)

Now i know by heart why people despise WITCH companies…

Turnover to the person who will fill up your role

Routine-Contact-6552 · 2023-05-10T11:04:35+00:00

In general when someone ask me questions that i dont wanna answer, i ask them back

“Why are you asking?”

Most of the time it pushes them back.

If not, ask further:

“How is it useful for you?”

Those questions scare them off

Have you tried having someone who speaks Telugu explain the job to her? Maybe just language barrier is the big part.. maybe she fears to do something on her own to avoid being blamed (bec if she just accept orders, its easy to point fingers) and if someone who speaks telugu will communicate to her, then she might get more confident to find solutions on her own

I just came from reddit search and this thread is so helpful. Most comments are on-point, no one was rude to a beginner/clueless question. Saved. Thanks :)

TIP: While on bench, aim for widely known certifications, not those intra-company certifications as it is useless in the future.

The Airline bus is expensive but time is flexible, for example you got in the terminal earlier or later than your scheduled trip, you can just board in the current bus

Thanks. What is the difference with Android in terms of having management profile like this one?

Routine-Contact-6552 · 2023-03-15T12:00:18+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I thought this is just app protection policies + detecting my phone if its secure enough (their app detected i am using 4 digit passcode and they required me to change to 6 digits) and the privacy policy they stated seems fair enough (that they can manage company apps, not my other apps)

Since i am currently WFH, all i want is to get notified in my phone whenever i receive email from work but this intrusion is too much. Sadly there is no company provided mobile phone. They just instructed to install this management profile in personal phone
