09/30/2026, 2:16 PMIMO, if starting out, the 2 main reasons to get the certs a) build some initial knowledge (e.g. like school) b) get hired by an AWS proserv company. Proserv companies need certs to maintain their status. Especially the smaller ones.

It was a bit difficult, but it really exposed alot to me.
