Hey, fellas!
I'm trying to switch my career from a non-IT self-employed role where I was doing a little bit of everything (mostly managing and operations) to an IT role. My goal is to get hired as a junior DevOps/SRE. I had an interview already that exposed the lack of my hard skills. I know that working in a Linux environment is only a part of what DevOps/SRE engineers do. I'll get to automation, cloud services, containerization, Python etc later. First, I'd like to learn Linux because it seems lots of things are based on the knowledge of Linux. My goal is to learn Linux fundamentals and get certificates that attract HR managers when they are looking at your resume.
I started self-studying Linux using Udemy courses and VirtualBox with CentOS 9/Ubuntu. Today I'm going to try to pass the LPIC Essentials test at a local test center. I hope I can pass it. Currently, I'd like to continue studying Linux to get LPIC-1. But here is an issue: my friend who has an RHCE certificate advised me I should follow the RH certification path because in his experience he never saw LPIC requirements in any related available job listings.
I like learning Linux and I find it's fun and of course challenging, but I'd like to focus on something that is definitely better when it comes to getting hired. As I mentioned above, Linux is the basis but I'll also need to learn many different things like Ansible, Docker, AWS, Python etc. I understand Red Hat is a major player in the enterprise world and they also acquired Ansible some time ago. Ansible was one of the things I was supposed to know during my interview. I see RH offers an extra Ansible-related certificate for those who have an RHCE certificate. So RH path indeed seems to be promising.
I'd like to know your opinion about which path will get you hired faster - LPIC or RH?
