Ik CS is more programming oriented and I already have regrets in life and wouldn’t want to feel like I’m making the wrong choices and feel I wasted my time on this degree.

I believe cybersecurity entails testing vulnerabilities and applying fixes and helping to make systems much more secure

I have 6 years IT experience (nothing network related) more just fixing hardware and removing viruses.

But my current role is just deploying software to agencies

    Would an AWS certificate be worth my time? in c/cs_career_questions@programming.dev

    Would an AWS certificate be worth my time? (programming.dev)
     

    As a recent grad in Computer Science I recently ggot a job as a Deployment Enginneer.

    My end game is to be a DevOps engineer. I am interested in cloud computing and would like to learn more with AWS.

    That being said would getting an AWS certificate be worth it? If so which Associate ones would align with my goals. If not is there any other certificates (non AWS) but DevOps or cloud related that would be recommended?

    Is a deployment engineer a good start for a recent CS grad? (programming.dev)
     

    Hi, I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science. I've been having a difficult time trying to find a job, but I finally found one as a deployment engineer where I would be dealing with shell scripting, AWS, SQL queries, and some C# framework related stuff.

    At the end of the day I would like to go into DevOps, cyber security, or programming.

    Is this role a good way to get my foot in the door and kickstarting my career and would it help me achieve my goal for any of those roles?
