Comment on The scales fall from my eyes
alcasa@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months agoTbf in most IT companies nobody cares about certs that are not on some form mandatory. A company caring about certs might be a negative signal to their ability to hire effectively for IT roles
Which i was living where you guys live but I am stuck in a third world hellhole.
I mean, it’s so shit that despite a regular monthly paycheck being around 150$ (less than half of India average paycheck ) we have very little companies outsourcing in here.

This. I started my career with 0 experience and an unrelated degree. I found an employer who saw I knew at least a little bit and hired me entry level. It wasn’t the job I wanted, but it got me in the door, and that’s the hardest part IMO. From there, you find opportunities to demonstrate your skill/knowledge and gun for promotions and raises whenever you can.

Certs were a thing in the late 90's and early 2000's and eventually folks realized they were not worth the paper they were written on (paper still somewhat being used). Today those logic tests seem to be the in thing.
