Well done Adit! Strong resilience !
Just a question: what it is the financial investment for each certification to be able to learn and to get a hands-on experience to pass confidently the certification ?
Thank you,

Thank you for your kind words, Mehdi! Regarding the financial investment for each certification, it varies. On average, study materials, practice exams, and exam fees can range from $100 to $300 per certification. Fortunately, my company generously sponsored most of my certification expenses, covering study materials and exam fees. I strongly believe that investing in comprehensive learning resources and hands-on labs is essential for a confident and successful certification journey.

Thank you for your encouraging words, Piotr! Two months post-certifications, I've seen a 30-40% increase in job offers, and the quality has notably improved. The certifications have enhanced my skills and opened exciting opportunities that align with my career goals.

Best of luck on your certification journey!

No, I currently hold a Senior DevOps Engineer position. However, my goal is to transition into an AWS Architect role, and I am actively working towards that objective. In my current role, I focus on Infrastructure, CI/CD and DevOps Practices, and I'm leveraging my expertise to build the skills required for an AWS Architect role.
