Re: State of IT - Biggest problem is the lack of skilled workers
Thanks for this thread, a lot of good information. Slightly different than the examples here, but I have run into a number of "fake" IT pros through the years, claiming decades of experience, some even with advanced certs and degrees. Some of them have even worked for household name multinational tech companies. But they… -
Re: Taking ICND1 exam in about 20 min
Sooo, you do know that exam-labs.com is a test **** site right? I mean, feel proud of yourself for all of the hard work you did put in, but passing when you had access to actual tests isn't something I'd brag about... From their page: [h=5]Accurate & Updated[/h] Even more important that the price is the quality of the… -
Re: Why is everyone so focused certifications?
I have nothing against anyone wanting to get a cert. For me and others like me at some point in your career the ROI on the cert becomes less and less. For me certs pretty much do not move my salary forward nor will they open a door I could not already get open. I hold two regionally accredited masters degrees one in… -
PRINCE2 Practitioner Failed - 24-6-2016
Discussion by arunm17 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI would like to share my experience of the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. I got 38/80 which is not enough to pass the exam. I need a minimum of 45/80 which is about 55% passing rate. I am not so down about it but it is close enough to pass. Back to the Lab again...start planning, reading & score next time around. What i have… -
Re: What are the highest paying IT jobs now?
Clearly it depends on your organization and how the resource strategy has been implemented. In a full blown projectized PMO operational managers are replaced by PM's and BA's, but in most top corporation you have a blended matrix where those roles can easily be absorbed buy other roles such as operational managers and… -
Re: Powerfool Grad School Progress
First of all, I look forward to reading your thread as well. I'll be taking the summer off for the first time since 2010 (though, not by my choice...) I'm compensating for that though by going with your advice and CLEPing Accounting. I'm hoping that the CLEP is done by end of May if not by middle of June. Then I might get… -
Re: Am I crazy?
Hi verbhertz, thanks for your comment and yes I am working in IT now. :) I agree with you if we are just studying all these technologies in a relatively short period of time, it isn't going to be as long lasting than it should be. However, due to the nature of my job, I should have the opportunities to apply the knowledge… -
Re: CISM passed 7/6

My roadmap for certs: (I already have all of the study material) CCNA (200-125) and Scyber (600-199) on the same day ( a couple weeks from now). CISSP within a couple weeks after CCNA/Scyber CEH week after CISSP (I have been ready for a while. Just want to do it… -
Re: How much do certifications and education matter when applying?
My brother was like that, always saying college was a stupid waste and didn't teach you what you really needed at work. Then, the successful startup he worked at was purchased, and suddenly the new company had requirements and he couldn't even advance in the role he was already performing. Many years later he's done his… -
Re: Good article about the difference between Engagement Mgmt and Project Mgmt
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsNot that strange you never heard of an engagement manager. Not something you would pick up in the PMBOK or PMP study guide. It's a position that usually encompasses several positions. For instance in our environment we have one particular engagement manager who manages 3 project managers and reports directly to a director…
