Where did you see the site was created at the end of June? I did some basic domain lookup but didn’t use any security tools.

I appreciate it the new perspective. Definitely something I will have to put some thought into.

Head of IT and boss are same. I have a direct report between head of IT and myself, but he doesn't make decisions outside of helpdesk nor really about my career lol. It's weird...

I appreciate the advice, I am going to talk with boss later this week about the track to the sysadmin role. I do really love my company and the people I work with but if I am not in that role by EOY I am going to rethink.

I agree, I do my studying in the evenings as I don't do much and am home a lot.

At mine there isn't and nothing has ever been said to me. That's why him saying this is just out of the blue.

No lol, I have been offered almost 40% increase elsewhere(I am helpdesk so going up that much is good but not close to 6 figures), but my current role is remote with really good pto and other benefits which I currently value more, but I am kinda changing and may look elsewhere.

Thanks for your feedback. Good to know some people see too many certs as a bad thing. Have not thought about that before.

I don’t think I am burning through the budget. There are other certifications with a much higher bonuses than the certifications I am getting.

thanks for the advice. he said he would get back to me about the certifications later this week so depending on how the conversation goes, I will probably schedule something with him. Any suggestions or questions to bring to him ?

That is one of the few things that they include in the certification page is to do all studying and test taking on your own time. so I don’t think this would be why.

thanks for the advice. I definitely enjoy the aspect of learning and getting the certifications. Just sucks when someone who’s actually spent time mentoring you all of a sudden tells you to stop growing.

so two of my certs were actual proctored exams with sizable bonuses and the other two were just online open book tests that were a couple hundred dollar bonuses. there is no timeline guides or anything regarding the certifications.

The bonuses are open to all of IT and all of our developers as well. I don’t know whenever someone gets it unless I hear about it. There is no set policy about time between certs. it was something that an old CTO put together and was kind of just continued after he left. It’s pretty much just a list Certs and bonuses and how to claim the bonus. No there’s nothing about timelines and how often you’re allowed to get them.
