All the tools you need are supplied by Amazon by way of free trials. It will literally take a couple of weeks to get CompTIA Cloud certified and the same for Amazon. So, while the frenzy is going on, I’m suggesting you get cloud certified as a matter of urgency. We’ve all seen the job adverts asking for 15 years experience, MCSE, CCIE and speak three languages. Now even the most seasoned CCIEs barely earn more than an experienced CCNP. You were lucky if any recruitment agent would reply to your emails. As soon as I passed my CCNA I was offered jobs because of the lack of certified engineers.Īs supply increased, we all saw salaries drop, and it became a buyers market. Cisco CCIEs were being offered $120,000 plus a big benefits package. They would take you out to lunch and dread another recruitment agent stealing you away from them. I last saw this in the late 90s when recruitment consultants would fight over Cisco certified engineers and Microsoft engineers. Many of them are the kind of jobs that now pay $300,000 to $1 million a year, according to Shannon Anderson, who has been recruiting engineers in Seattle and the Bay Area for 25 years.” – New York Times (Online) “ On the social media site LinkedIn, for example, there are over 130 engineering positions available at Oracle Seattle. The bar is lowered for people with very little experience.Massive salary hike, even for low-end roles.It’s all driven by market supply and demand and (as I pointed out many months ago) and there is currently a massive shortfall in cloud engineers which means two things to you and me: There is a literal stampede to hire cloud certified engineers with salaries ranging from $300,000 to $1 million for experienced engineers. Otherwise, what's the point of us all being here right? I only add courses I’m 100% sure will give you a big career boost and make you a very valuable IT engineer to any company. I had the usual emails from idiots saying I was only pushing these courses for my own benefit, but my criteria has never changed. My reason was that I saw a massive recruitment drive coming for cloud engineers, and I didn’t want you to miss out. I’ve also issued free exam offers and other incentives. This is one of those annoying ‘I told you so’ posts.Ī couple of years back I could see the writing on the wall and began to recruit top cloud engineers to put together training courses for certifications including:ĪWS Certified Solutions Architect – AssociateĪWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate
