Great video Mike! Currently working towards AZ-305, and cleaned up my LinkeDin by purging "engineering" assocaite-level certificates. No greater feeling than recreating yourself! #gocloudcareers #cloudarchtitect
Zim - fantastic. I remember working with you and now you’re working as a cloud engineer. You have a lot to offer! So show your high value things and call attention to what maters most.
Great session, Mike! I just turned 50 a few months ago. What are your thoughts on someone transitioning from the systems engineering side of IT into cloud security architecture at this age? Is there going to be much age bias to deal with in the job search and interview process? 🙃
Hello I’m not sure what you mean by age bias. As in tech if you are good you are hired and age is irrelevant. I’ve gotten people in their 60s great tech jobs and I have also gotten people as young as 20 a great tech job It’s often easier for people that are 50+ to get hired in advisory roles like architects. But I have helped many young people get hired The demand for architects is so high and the supply is nearly zero. Don’t let age or anything else get in your way.
32:30 thanks for this breakdown between the roles
