AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate vs Professional |SAA-CO2 vs SAP-C01 | AWS Career Tips

[@SilverSpoonPhoto]

This clarification will help me focus my time and energy toward a specialization and not just collect certs. Thanks!

[@EricTorres713]

Specialize, specialize. Well said, Mike! Best to master a set of skills instead of trying to learn it all

[@TemetNosce_Matrix]

Thank you! Great information. My cousin is an engineer, and he initially guided me to get 4x AWS certified.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Thank you Abigayle. You found our community at the right time. The right advice at the right time makes all the difference in the world.

[@richferreira3548]

Great video explaining the difference. Studying the difference you can tell the Professional exam needs more in depth knowledge in comparison to the Associate Exam. Thank you Michael.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

I am Glad it was helpful to you, Rich.

[@obinnachuku9199]

Thanks Mike. Knowledge of networking and the data center is what gets you hired.

[@bankolejohn]

Thanks Mike. You are truly the best. This video is so on point. This has helped to enlighten me on the right path. SA Pro is the way to go. I already have my Associate cert. I hope to be #cloudhired someday!

[@geni8592]

I am so glad to hear that G Z. Always strive to be more.

[@aquafresca]

Excellent advise Mike, certifications give you an opportunity to meet and greet. The SAP is the gold standard in AWS, it is a more challenging exam so at least an employer will assume that you have some technical attributes in mastering the Cloud fundamentals.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Akwo. Thank you. Exactly it’s like an admission ticket to the interview contest. The interview contest is then won with Technical competency Soft skills Executive presence Emotional intelligence Business acumen Etc

[@lpratesutube]

Great video Mike! I completely agree with you!

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Thank you so much Leo

This is a great video that it will enable me to focus on the right path to further my career 👍

[@GoCloudArchitects]

It most certainly will Pierre. You can do this!

5:03 My ❎👓has me seeing "Seperate" U from the #Cloud when it should be "Separate" You from the Crowd?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Hi Ken! Thank you for pointing that out! #cloudhired

[@krystalmarie5637]

Can you complete the SAA and then the SAP right after without the 2 years suggested experience? Or do you have to complete SAA, DA, SOAA before going for Solutions Architect Professional?

[@GoCloudArchitects]

You can take the SAP right away. You don’t need any experience for this. You can pass this exam with a few months prep. And definitely don’t waste your time with the developer associate, sysops or Devops associate to pass a simple exam

[@wrxfreak1]

Thanks so much for the informative video. This clears a lot of confusion.

If I'm looking for Cloud Computing role, which role is best-fit for me that can utilize all my skills? kindly need your advice

Thanks Mike. The professional certification definitely sounds like it will set me apart

[@GoCloudArchitects]

It does! Thank you for watching, Nick.

"The first cloud was Frame Relay, and the next cloud was ATM, and the next cloud after that was the BGP RFC 2547 VPN (...)" It would be fantastic if you could elaborate on these ideas. I think ideas like these encourage us to think more broadly. It's always useful to be able to discern between terms that instruct and terms that advertise.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Thank you! Suggestion noted! #cloudhired

[@user-sw8py5ep6g]

Thanx a lot Mike, as i've said, Very helpful tips. I just passed my CCNA recently, and hoping to take a little detour and rest time and get an AWS certification before starting my study for CCNP to know more about the cloud as My ultimate aim to to get into CCIE cloud or security. Please advice. is this a right path or what would you do? Thanx a lot.

[@GoCloudArchitects]

Hello. You mentioned certifications and asked us to tell you if it’s a god plan. But you did not your goal career. Without knowing the goal I can’t tell you if it’s a good plan. So if you tell us your goals we can help you with the plan. And your background and experiece as well
