This now brings my total active certifications to 12, the &ldquo;full suite&rdquo; of achievable certification. In doing so I&rsquo;m now eligible for the elusive &ldquo;golden jacket&rdquo; awarded by AWS to holders of all certifications.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve had a few people ask my about my certification journey and as often as the how did I do it, is they why did I do it.</p>https://myaws.name/4x-or-1x-certified-does-it-matter/Mon, 20 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://myaws.name/4x-or-1x-certified-does-it-matter/<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://myaws.name/css/hugo-easy-gallery.min.css" /> <div class="box" > <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="img" > <img itemprop="thumbnail" src="https://myaws.name/img/4x1-image1.jpg" alt="pedestal, ranking, podium, winner, dark, 3d, top-light, bw, black and white" /> </div> <a href="https://myaws.name/img/4x1-image1.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl"></a> </figure> </div> <p>I often see in peoples LinkedIn headline is stats around how many certifications they hold such as <em><strong>6x AWS | 4x AZURE | 2x GCP</strong></em> . The question is what does this actually show? Does someone with 7 certificates have more knowledge than someone with 4? What about those without any certifications?</p> <h2 id="numbers-dont-always-add-up">Numbers don&rsquo;t always add up.</h2> <p>The problem with just comparing the numbers mathematically is that not all certifications are equal. 4x does not always equal 4x!</p>
