@@rwxrob Because of difficulty or some other thing ? I am asking because I currently work at red hat and intend to leave and I am thinking to get this one before I am gone and I am not sure how to evaluate how much of an time investement it would be for me. I am pretty comfortable with most of things in RHCSA.
Same deal here. I have been using Linux since 1999. Been on Slackware, Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch. Have recently moved to a new State looking for work and living off savings. A week ago I passed my RHCSA which I need to get my RHCE which I expect to have by the end of next week. Each test is $500. That is $1,000 and less than 2 months of me living off savings. Worth it. I can tell you all the things I don't like about Red Hat. However, the RHCE is the most valuable cert I can quickly get since I am not going for any CISCO certifications.
I learned linux the past two years and I have come to the conclusion that ubuntu is inadequate, becoming certified in anything will help me as I have a public github and have already proven myself to be able to learn and work - I just need a piece of paper which can tell people I know what im doing. I have someone who will pay for me to join a course.
Almost got my RHCSA, I just need to pay for a voucher at this point to take the test and I do want to get RHCE but that's about all the money I'm ever going to give to Red Hat at this point.
Great video, Rob. I'm an IT, I've been stuck in help desk purgatory since 2017. I've been interested in pursuing a new job in infrastructure/cloud/security... I haven't decided where to go yet. I'm thinking about getting RHCSA since I'm a Linux enthusiast. Being a Linux engineer seemed too far and difficult but so many companies now a day want automation and infra as code (ie ansible, chef, puppet, terraform, etc). I also share your sentiment about what Redhat has done. I guess I better get back to studying!
@@rwxroband how are you measuring it? I sat through your video and didn't come out with any idea of why you think this is valuable besides "I use Ansible automation. I'll get the Redhat cert. Everyone should"
It’s probably the most worthy out there, especially since they included the ansible modules you will learn something useful, compared to most certs which information you‘ll never use again.
I would do the RHCSA first since the RHCE requires knowledge from the RHCSA. Other Linux certifications aren't as rigorous and you won't learn as much studying for them
Certification is important in the consulting and government world but that's about it. It won't hurt your chances at other places but it usually isn't a hard requirement
Depends on the specific organization. For operations/infrastructure heavy is makes sense. It makes far less sense than something like OSCP for security, imo.
Drink more beer and tell us all the hard truths. We need to know.
Here's another one, RHCE is incredibly hard to get.

I thought they removed the RHCSA requirement for taking the RHCE??
Keep us posted for sure. I've done fine without any certs at all, but that is becoming less common now.

I'm too European to pay money for CS degree. Instead of RHCE, better to take LP courses. Skills are more important either way. Use materials, no pay.
Experience you can prove is always better than a piece of paper for sure.

You got this amigo
@@javajav3004 Thanks, bro 🙏🏽
I’m studying for CCNP ENCOR exam. I was looking at RHCA maybe later on
I have the RHCSA.... I have starting studying for RHCE
It's genuinely funny that you had to get a little buzzed to make this video.
Thanks bro, im starting up now.
I just passed the rhcsa yesterday. Looking at rhce now. What affordable study resources would you recommend?
That certification has almost no demand in the market. I ran a search for it on Indeed and saw three jobs for all of New York City.
Measuring demand through an Indeed query is likely not as good as talking to people who have opportunities in their companies.
@@rwxroband how are you measuring it? I sat through your video and didn't come out with any idea of why you think this is valuable besides "I use Ansible automation. I'll get the Redhat cert. Everyone should"
I would love to get certified by RH
Would this be useful for people looking at going into cybersecurity or Linux certifications in general?

Interesting
First here
Yeah... No 😂
You dont need this crap, I'm also making a handsome salary NOT using ANY Redhat technology. Go for a different cert.
yea what are you exactly doing? redhat experience is linux experience like any other distribution you troll.
