Hi,

I see lot of hiring managers asking for experience in one of the above cloud providers which I do not have. Is doing a certification in one of them my only option to uplift my profile and resume ? Please suggest.

I don’t want to regret later after spending money on certifications.

Thanks.

    Working with AWS, I tell you what: these certs are useless. You should focus on finding an entry job and watch some reinvent videos.

      While I do agree certs are useless, it gives visibility and a little kick when you are in the job market. I work for AWS and I don’t have any certs myself but I wouldn’t mind getting them when I have a need to look for outside opportunities.

    It wouldn’t hurt. I got the AWS Solutions Architect certification and had no experience. Then shortly after an amazon recruiter found me on LinkedIn and I started working at AWS.

    Get out there and get some experience otherwise no certification replaces requirements for having experience

      How? No experience = no job (that's his claim),
      and no job = no experience.
      Those services are expensive as hell. My team's AWS bill is in millions every month.

      Could start in small start-up where the pay is lower and I don't care so much about your experience I'd rather they care about your skills and then work their way up to bigger companies when experience is gained.

    I have the certs but because I didnt pay for them. You can learn about all 3 without spending much money. They all have free services you can use to practice and theres a lot of online training. There's not that many people who are good at it so you knowing the basics should already be a plus for a job interview. I'm currently thinking on taking the Cloud Engineer Associate cert from GCP but mainly because I have a way on getting the fee waived.
