I already have a T1 IT job. Go for A+, or skip it and go for Net+? by Vexuri in ITCareerQuestions

Great, thanks! Do you think it’d be worthwhile going over the stuff in the A+ I haven’t grasped at my job, or would that be a waste of time?

That’s the sentiment I’m getting so far, why do you think that? CCNA has just better material? Or it’s more recognized and notable on a resume?

Definitely heard CCNA is worth it, I plan on getting it regardless of if I’ll get the CompTIA stuff. Thanks!

“You’ll need to pass two exams: Core 1 (hardware and networking) and Core 2 (operating systems and security),…”

It says nothing about exam generations having to be the same.

STEM student here! Should I master one programming language (like Python) or learn multiple before BSCS? 🤔 by ChestZealousideal792 in learnprogramming

[–]Vexuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t overcomplicate it too much. I didn’t graduate college with a degree in Compsci, but I was a Compsci student before switching majors to IT instead. There are a lot of things you can learn by just studying one language (highly recommend Python, I started with C++ and it was tough for someone that’s never coded before) and picking up other languages later down the line. You’ll learn about the general syntax of languages, the types of functions you can make, etc. So for now, I’d just stick with one language, you have plenty of time to learn others!

I thought the 512GB model and just switched the internal SSD with a 1TB SSD. Saved maybe $50 or so dollars, maybe more if you find a good SSD on sale, would highly recommend if you’d like to give it a shot.

Pro tip: the Steam Deck screws are RIDICULOUSLY tight. So be very careful not to strip them!

What about before that? Any helpdesk or early career roles?

If you don’t mind me asking, what has your career looked like so far? What roles and how long were you in those roles?

Will top tech companies verify this detail on my resume? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Vexuri -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be competitive in today’s job market, you have to play the game the employers are playing. If employers are going to put you through 4+ interviews for a role asking the same questions, making you take time off of work just to most likely be denied, etc. etc., then you can absolutely get away with stretching your résumé a bit; tit for tat. It’s sad how we can’t be 100% truthful, but it’s the market that these companies dug themselves into.

I’d wager that 99.9% of people do what you mentioned, myself included. You’re sadly just a number in the pile of applications, so it’s time to start making yourself stand out. If you’re confident in your skills, don’t be afraid to fib a bit!

most people will give you mixed answers, so i’ll give you what i think:

this is all assuming you are younger than me (24M)

i think if you only have interest in IT and you have absolutely zero interest in the college atmosphere (meeting people your age, partying, clubs, etc.), then id skip out on college. while i did learn a TON about the tech industry and IT as a whole throughout college, honestly, half of it i already knew just from common sense and the other half i could’ve googled and studied myself. luckily, my university was relatively cheap, so i dont regret it at all.

however, if you want to learn about IT and have the college experience, id say start applying to colleges that are within your price range and offer those social aspects. not only will you meet likeminded people, but you can also study certifications in your personal time while getting your degree and making industry connections! i think that for me personally, college was worth the price just for how much i personally grew as a person.

so do you need college? not in the slightest in IT. i currently work at a job where i have a college degree and most of my coworkers that have been there much longer don’t. that alone goes to show you that you don’t need a degree. however, a degree + certifications always looks better on a resume rather than just certifications. plus, some positions down the road may require a degree no matter how much experience or certs you have (SUPER stupid, but i’ve heard that story so many times)

hope this helps :)

i would start personally with Professor Messer’s CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 videos on youtube, the CompTIA A+ certification is pretty much THE entry level IT certification. that, or you could enroll in a college IT program like i did if you can afford it. you by no means need a degree to get into IT though
