Sometimes cloud certifications matter to employers,
and sometimes they don’t. In this episode, let’s get into some arguments for

certifications should change throughout the duration of your career.
Today’s discussion involves:
- The incentive for employers to protect their partnership
status with cloud providers.
- What can happen when two candidates are very similar but have
different amounts of certifications.
- Why recruiters and hiring managers often being non-technical
places an emphasis on the number of certifications.
- The limit of how far certifications can get you when you’re starting your career.
- Why new people in this space should be sure to focus on gaining hands-on experience.
- What technical interviews are designed to achieve.
- The importance of acquiring skills that cannot be obtained from certifications alone.
- Why it’s best to focus on things like cloud frameworks when you want to transition into a senior role.
