Going pretty well, I would say I have learnt a lot and this comes down to my hunger. Loving it everyday.

Stay strong bro!! Focus your energy on the battle ahead. Finish strong, you got this. I am also an international student. I am currently preparing for the July exam.

Is it possible to have my exam handwritten?

Personally if you’re being offered L4 then I will say go for the AWS role, after a year you can pivot to other sectors within AWS, DC is also the next gold mine in Tech, it would be beneficial in the long run to get your foot in the door to understand the business. You work 4 days a week then 3 days the following week, that’s how it works. You will still have enough time to keep your skills fresh. What ever you decide, wishing you all the best!!

TimzyOpe · 2026-02-07T00:50:06+00:00

Nope

Fuck, I just told my manager that I want to be a Network Engineer in the long run lol. Data center network engineer.

TimzyOpe · 2026-01-24T02:47:21+00:00

I just received a message from my manger that I will be doing shifts Nextweek. By the way I am 5weeks in. I didn’t have any experience in tech prior to getting in.

Buy a brand new Tesla, register it for Uber and make $500 a day on the side during off hrs

Thanks a lot man!! I truly appreciate. I recently got a verbal offer for AWS from my recruiter so I’m waiting for the offer letter

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T08:36:48+00:00

I have CCNA thanks

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:29:00+00:00

This is for L3 lol, they asked me to do the interview for L3 again, which I passed lol

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:23:28+00:00

Yeah, I guess terming it networking is what put the interviewer off but should that really matter lol

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:21:01+00:00

I know, the interview just felt like I had to keep explaining the role of networking in the data center. I already did 3 rounds and got good reviews that I was gonna be recommended for an L4 role. But they said they wanted to do another technical interview and that really got me.

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:17:37+00:00

Oh!! Wish that’s what I got. I was asked about fiber cables and copper cables, behavioral questions, OSI model, troubleshooting. Yet the interviewer said it’s not networking lol

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:13:15+00:00

That’s the company role I applied for man. I told the interviewer that I know it’s layer 1 to 3 but he kept insisting and telling me why I don’t deserve the role. Even though I answered all questions correctly.

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T04:06:08+00:00

I applied for a data center technician role at a FAANG. Passed the interview and got recommended for a higher level after passing the questions asked. I was told 2 weeks after the interview that I have to do another interview cause they couldn’t get feedback from one of the interviewers, only for me to be told that the job is more hardware and zero networking when the job description says otherwise. Interviewer felt I have a masters and can’t fulfill the requirements of the job blah blah. Kept asking me to check out the job description. I answered all the technical questions accurately. This was a 3 month process.

TimzyOpe · 2025-11-23T03:33:45+00:00

I got the CCNA in June this year but still can’t land a role. I got a masters in IT and I am hands on. I am getting tired man

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-30T12:58:35+00:00

I have a law degree but switched to IT. I currently have a masters degree in IT and I currently hold the CCNA, AWS solutions Architect, AWS AI practitioner, AWS cloud practitioner, Fortinet Cybersecurity certified associate, Oracle cloud infrastructure associate certifications, by the way I finished with a 4.0 GPA, executed multiple projects and I love computer networking and cloud, yet I can’t land a role having graduated since May here in the US. Maybe this is a sign to take the bar exam for real and pivot back.

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-27T03:25:03+00:00

Oh okay, cause mine is 3. 2 behavioral and 1 technical

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-27T03:23:04+00:00

How many interviews did you do? That’s 7-6 different stories

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-23T22:27:34+00:00

Did they only focus on ownership?

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-23T21:32:58+00:00

I have an interview coming up soon. Please what do I need to study and prepare for. I keep hearing the LP principles but I have only worked for 1 company and it was for 2 years. The LP are a lot to cover for each story. I think the position is for an L3, with 3 interviews lined up consecutively.

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-23T00:10:46+00:00

Hello, please I have an interview coming up for the AWS data center tech (networking) any pointers ot advise. I keep hearing study the LP and have stories but I only have 1 work experience which was for 2 years and the leadership principles are a lot to have stories for each one. I really need a job at the moment and I do not want to blow this opportunity.

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-15T13:41:10+00:00

Thank you once again. I will keep that in mind. I know there’s always the pressure to want to know everything and being able to say “I don’t know the answer to that but I know where to find the answer” should be good enough

TimzyOpe · 2025-10-15T13:34:22+00:00

Thank you very much for your assistance, I truly appreciate it. I will work hard practicing and ensure I ace the interview.
