Drink more beer and tell us all the hard truths. We need to know.

[@rwxrob]

Here's another one, RHCE is incredibly hard to get.

[@tonnytrumpet734]

@@rwxrob Because of difficulty or some other thing ? I am asking because I currently work at red hat and intend to leave and I am thinking to get this one before I am gone and I am not sure how to evaluate how much of an time investement it would be for me. I am pretty comfortable with most of things in RHCSA.

[@BreetaiZentradi]

Same deal here. I have been using Linux since 1999. Been on Slackware, Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch. Have recently moved to a new State looking for work and living off savings. A week ago I passed my RHCSA which I need to get my RHCE which I expect to have by the end of next week. Each test is $500. That is $1,000 and less than 2 months of me living off savings. Worth it. I can tell you all the things I don't like about Red Hat. However, the RHCE is the most valuable cert I can quickly get since I am not going for any CISCO certifications.

[@senfglas214]

I thought they removed the RHCSA requirement for taking the RHCE??

[@rwxrob]

Keep us posted for sure. I've done fine without any certs at all, but that is becoming less common now.

[@llpolluxll]

Almost got my RHCSA, I just need to pay for a voucher at this point to take the test and I do want to get RHCE but that's about all the money I'm ever going to give to Red Hat at this point.

[@d3stinYwOw]

I'm too European to pay money for CS degree. Instead of RHCE, better to take LP courses. Skills are more important either way. Use materials, no pay.

[@rwxrob]

Experience you can prove is always better than a piece of paper for sure.

[@TrashwareArt]

I learned linux the past two years and I have come to the conclusion that ubuntu is inadequate, becoming certified in anything will help me as I have a public github and have already proven myself to be able to learn and work - I just need a piece of paper which can tell people I know what im doing. I have someone who will pay for me to join a course.

Great video, Rob. I'm an IT, I've been stuck in help desk purgatory since 2017. I've been interested in pursuing a new job in infrastructure/cloud/security... I haven't decided where to go yet. I'm thinking about getting RHCSA since I'm a Linux enthusiast. Being a Linux engineer seemed too far and difficult but so many companies now a day want automation and infra as code (ie ansible, chef, puppet, terraform, etc). I also share your sentiment about what Redhat has done. I guess I better get back to studying!

You got this amigo

[@nicksalvador9729]

@@javajav3004 Thanks, bro 🙏🏽

[@dannym2595]

I’m studying for CCNP ENCOR exam. I was looking at RHCA maybe later on

[@tonyg460]

I have the RHCSA.... I have starting studying for RHCE

[@alexandrep4913]

Thanks bro, im starting up now.

[@raymulligan4508]

That certification has almost no demand in the market. I ran a search for it on Indeed and saw three jobs for all of New York City.

[@rwxrob]

Measuring demand through an Indeed query is likely not as good as talking to people who have opportunities in their companies.

[@colton..]

@@rwxroband how are you measuring it? I sat through your video and didn't come out with any idea of why you think this is valuable besides "I use Ansible automation. I'll get the Redhat cert. Everyone should"

[@fleontrotsky]

It's genuinely funny that you had to get a little buzzed to make this video.

[@Streetrack]

I just passed the rhcsa yesterday. Looking at rhce now. What affordable study resources would you recommend?

[@nikbl4k]

I would love to get certified by RH

[@intothezona]

Would this be useful for people looking at going into cybersecurity or Linux certifications in general?

[@senfglas214]

It’s probably the most worthy out there, especially since they included the ansible modules you will learn something useful, compared to most certs which information you‘ll never use again.

[@wiggersinohio]

I would do the RHCSA first since the RHCE requires knowledge from the RHCSA. Other Linux certifications aren't as rigorous and you won't learn as much studying for them

[@wiggersinohio]

Certification is important in the consulting and government world but that's about it. It won't hurt your chances at other places but it usually isn't a hard requirement

[@rwxrob]

Depends on the specific organization. For operations/infrastructure heavy is makes sense. It makes far less sense than something like OSCP for security, imo.

[@JacksonLloyd952]

Interesting

[@robinhood8302]

First here

[@colton..]

Yeah... No 😂 You dont need this crap, I'm also making a handsome salary NOT using ANY Redhat technology. Go for a different cert.

[@wiziek]

yea what are you exactly doing? redhat experience is linux experience like any other distribution you troll.
