Finally in a position to really go after the CCIE Collab, after a few years of prep, and getting extreme cold feet. Just not sure if its worth it in this market anymore, but also not sure what else I would do. Also seems like I have brainworms because any CCIE is valuable always and forever

tehinternet posted:Sounds like you’re afraid of failing and trying to rationalize not taking the chance due to that fear. You got this. Even if you don’t pass it’s experience you can apply for the next shot. No disrespect meant — good luck, friend. Thank you (and sorry for the late response). Yes I am afraid of failing, and tbh it would be much easier to just find another job, but I'll never be able to do what I want w/o the CCIE (move to Europe) I do have this.

Has anyone taken the MS-721 exam? Specifically are the labs and resources on MS website accurate, or do you have to read the mind of the test writer like Cisco

Just wanted to say - thank you thread for pointing me towards WGU. I'm the proverbial older IT worker who needs to pass some HR screens, and it looks like they're seemingly going to take my 54 credits from community college  For certification content - anyone pass their CCNP Security? I'm not a security guy, but I need IaT II at a minimum for work, and CCNP Security goes a lot further than Security+.

Thanks for both of your answers, and yes IaT II is all I need because I'm a collab guy. I am reviewing online stuff for Security+ and it its significantly easier than the CCNP Security. I'd been talking to recruiters (which is its own  ) and a few separate recruiters with different companies had made it seem like the Security+ was a meat grinder. I'm not sure who they were interviewing or talking to, but the practice test i'm looking at right now is common sense stuff?

Other than that, if you're comfortable and work with tech daily, you'll likely be fine. skooma512 posted:IDK if they were thinking of CISSP or something else but lol at Sec+ being a meat grinder. You could pass it with no book, just youtube, it's cake. I'm guessing, but I think its the PBQs. A lot of voice dudes I've worked with wouldn't understand ACLs or how to ping from a workstation

Contingency posted:CCNP Security: Thats my experience renewing my CCNP Collaboration. Lots of very, very specific edge cases for the various specializations. I suppose it makes sense, there aren't a lot of on-premise deployments happening these days, but I'd expect more cloud-based stuff. Otoh I'd say there's a decent chance that Cisco dumps collab entirely in concessions to MS Teams  EDIT also I think it has to do with the main CCNP test now qualifying as the written for the CCIE. Previously the CCIE written was entirely edge cases and minutiae.

Spoderman posted:I currently have senior sysadmin position that pays peanuts and am looking for new work as an IT manager/ project manager. Or barring that, a better paying sysadmin role. I have lots of PM experience in my position, but it's not in my title. All my certifications are Mac-focused (Jamf, ACMT), but my local job market rarely ever has Mac-centric roles posted. PMP and Six Sigma belts seem to be the gold standard in the US, although I believe ITIL is big in Europe? If you have enough projects that you can massage into qualifying for the PMP, I'd highly suggest that
