15 years of IT experience at medium to large companies but never got any degrees or certs. “Born and raised on tech in the silicon valley” and aced interviews. Looking to add certs to my resume. Which ones are a waste and which ones are beneficial to have on your resume?
Also got no certificates. Worked in a PC repair shop and now just started my second helpdesk role. Gone back down from 2nd line to 1st line because it came with a pay rise and a much better commute. Working conditions also seem quite a bit better and none of my coworkers are showing clear signs of stress.
Early 30s now, I earn enough to easily live comfortably and I don’t have to work for an evil corporation to do it. Although a job that does something good could interest me, currently it just feels neutral. Not evil, but not a massive benefit to society either.
