Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone of yall can give me some tips on entering the IT world.
Im currently working at desktop support at my university and since im graduating with a degree in history, i thought i'd get into the IT field.
I'm the highest position a student can be at my job (student lead) and im also apple certified (if that means anything lol)
Im a senior and i'll be graduating this coming December. I live in MD so I guess I have some options since DC is pretty close.
Can anyone recommend me some advice for a noob like me?
Here's my linked in if anyone wants to view it. It be great if someone get critique it as well

How long has it been? I let mine expire too because I wasn't about to pay whatever dues and upload CE credits since I was a lifetime, thought it didn't matter and nobody would know. Soon as my joint expired my company was calling me asking me if I was certified or not, just called them and they unlocked my account for 2 weeks and let me upload all my credits and pay my dues. You can get 3 a yr for work experience, and then any meetings you went to, webinars you viewed, etc. hell you can make **** up and give yourself the required amount of points as long as you put the date as having been within your window before it expired

Appreciate it man. I actually got the 14 day extension after it expired and realized everything I uploaded was not enough in terms of credits. Some of the stuff required was completely unnecessary in my opinion, and I demanded a refund of the fees I paid (which I luckily got back)
I wonder if I can get them to unlock the account and see if I can start uploading.

Nah not really, The position I just accepted the offer for is more of an R&D shop(105k)....previous devops position did though, it all coincides with the app development cycle

You guys used SCRUM/Agile? I ask because I`m trying to look up Cloud Related BA roles but they dont seem to exist or maybe they are using different names. Did you guys BA mainly focus on Requirements Gathering or also creating Solutions from a Functional Stand point?

What exactly would make a could related be different than a regular BA? At work we are joining HPs private cloud but from a development standpoint I dont see much different as we are just connecting into their infrastructure. I could assume an AWS environment could differ as there are so many services you could use within their environment(same with azure)

agiles kinda dead, we used a CI/CD model for apps...I mean I wouldn't even be sure so call the guys BAs (im not really to privy on the business side) but our business guys were always in contact with our different clients discussing new features etc. they'd want to be added to the app or just functionality when it comes to delivery of whatever services they provided

For most Infrastructure/Cloud related Orgs I dont see BA Roles listed typically DevOps/SysEngineer/SysAdmin/etc

lol if anything AGILE is the hottest thing out. AGILE and "DevOPS" is all I see nowadays even though most shops that claim to be Agile arent and tend to use some Agile/Waterfall hybrid.
Im graduating this Dec and na, havent went to any career services office yet lol

Agile is dead lol! quasi-Agile is dead, maybe. Keep in mind there are multiple variations of Agile. I'm amazed that at the pace of releases within a typical group of DevOps, you aren't utilizing SCRUM in full. Well SCRUM or XP.
