I’ll echo this. Doing quite well for myself in IT and I have a big fat 0 for certs. I’ve interviewed many people for jobs as well, and I learned certs are bullshit.
Many will pay to have people do them for them. Or brain dump them. Many times I’ve danced circles around people that look way better on paper than me.
If you learn the concepts, work and apply them, get that hands on experience, it will help.
Honestly maybe even a quick run through an MSP is a good place to start. You get to touch a lot of things and learn quickly.
