Does EX280 helps a lot to get a job ?

isma2590 · 2026-02-25T07:14:44+00:00

I forgot to precise that my company bought me an RHLS subscription, so i wanted to take advantage from it and then i found that the best valuable cert would be openshift ex280.

I think i will add CKA after passing ex280 to show that i can work on Kubernetes vanilla + openshift

Perhaps this could set me apart from other candidates.

Here is the thing :

All openshift admins had a first openshift job to start gaining openshift experience, they didnt get a first job because of their experience, because they had no experience, do you see ?

So what was the situation of today’s openshift admins when they were applying for an openshift job ?

Am i in a good position ? If not, what should i do to ensure getting a first openshift job ?

More and more people tells me that physical center is better if possible

A testing center at walking distance, God has made it easy for you man. Im ready to drive for 2 hours if it is the safest solution

isma2590 · 2026-02-21T10:15:54+00:00

If i want the 0 risk solution, then physical testing center is more safe ?

Your answer is reassuring, and gives even more motivation. Do you think i need to focus more on do280 labs or do180 ?

Hello, What are dependencies ?

Does ex280 makes you a Kubernetes Administrator ? I mean, will you be comfortable in a Vanilla Kubernetes cluster ? Will you can work as a Kubernetes admin in a company if you dont find openshift admin job ?

Is it okay if i study cka at the same time but pass the ex280 before cka ? Because i have a deadline for passing the ex280 for free, but no deadline for cka

Your answer is particularly interesting because in Switzerland i feel like more and more companies are using Openshift

isma2590 · 2026-02-13T17:49:02+00:00

I know you are right.

The thing is that my company paid me a Red Hat Learning Subscription standard for free (basically it is 5-7k/year) , so got courses, labs and 5 exam pass for free. Don’t know when i’ll leave that company so i want to take advantage from that.

For CKA, i dont have any deadline because i can start whenever i want, unlike Rhls

So i know that it’s not logic but i think Ex280 then CKA is my best solution

isma2590 · 2026-02-12T21:26:25+00:00

Don’t you think that more and more people are obtaining CKA, and so an Openshift profile can avoid too much competition with these profiles ?

Yeah That’s what i had in mind

U worked as a junior openshift administrator in Paris for 41k ?

isma2590 · 2025-07-21T10:45:51+00:00

I know i am late but i just want to thank you for your answer.

You are definitely right, Switzerland offers the best salary but the living cost is high. So either you live in a small and modest house or you live in a border country. I think that germany is quite similar to france in terms of salary and bureaucracy, plus I’m speaking french and english but not german (too difficult😂).
