🧵 Let's recap in this thread
Do you need VMware certifications to get the job?

No. Certs could shortlist you for very specific roles, though if you do need a cert, you can obtain them after being hired.

Other certs like AWS, Azure and GCP could be a plus for specific roles.

What kind of roles are available at VMware?
Basically everything. To name a few

Software Development
Program Managers
Technical Accounts Managers
Solutions Architect

TIL on #100DaysOfCloud Twitter Spaces with @DonReamey and @lounecl about Getting Hired at Microsoft / Azure

(rt to enter eBook draw)

🧵summary thread
1/ Microsoft and Azure are the same company. In terms of the hiring process, it is generally the same between these two organizations for similar roles. eg. Software Developer Engineer (SDE)

A Hiring Manager's technical challenges can greatly vary
/2 Microsoft and Azure Certifications at least for the Software Developer Engineer (SDE) are not a factor during hiring.

Consider whether the role is working on the underlying infrastructure or building workloads ontop of Microsoft services
