Shout out to the person who went from R75/day to R40k/month 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, big ups to him!
Shoutout to you to🔥🔥
Today is my first day in cybersecurity and want to thank u sis boni for playing small but big role in my journey I wish u nothing but the best and may u continue to educate many more ❤
Hi, I remember you very well. You've been here for a while. Are you working now?
@@liferesetwithboni no not yet but when I do you and everyone here will be first to know
@@Billy_Groove how is it going so far...i haven't started studying🤭🤭 and i wish you all the best
Amen blessings to you all. Let's go
Wow
In IT, certifications can open doors💯
Gatekeepers were found shaking once again. 😂
I noticed someone claiming that a cloud engineer should have a BSc degree in computer science. 😂😂🤦🏾
Different paths for different people. A degree is important, especially if you lack both experience AND industry certs. However, it's NOT compulsory.
Thanks Boni, I've been asking for cloud engineer payslips. 😅
Lol, I've asked why they are saying that, I'm waiting for the response and what makes me happy is all payslips are from black professionals, so nje it's up to you guys, get the skills or stay in the corner and watch others prosper.
These people are also coming to season 4 in July!
@@liferesetwithboni Thanks for the our hard work! 😊 💪🏾
In all industries you are likely to find people without a degree but yes , most job requirement (90%) will need a BSc as a primary requirement for shortlisting. The person is right , he is not gatekeeping anything. You must not take outliers as if they are regulars.
@@thulanidhlamini1347 I disagree with you chief.
@compton8301 it's okay to disagree but it doesnt change facts on the ground . We can go and sample few posts on Careerjunction now and look at requirements. Don't be fooled it's not easy to find a job without that undergraduate degree in South Africa.
Inspiring!
Amazing! Love your advice! ❤
The frontend engineer with 7 years of experience is earning way too little, she should be making around R60k - R70k with that experience
I thought so too.
Yeah. She probably doesn't change jobs often.
I saw that too, she should try changing companies to increase her salary. She's earning way bellow industry standard
@@compton8301 exactly this, as a developer it is essential to change jobs/companies often
Thanks for the information 🙏🙏🙏
thank you boni , love your humor
TA🤣
This was very useful thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much Sisi, you are helping people with looking where to change lives, we appreciate and see you work. You are a star❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
Sis Boni yho andisagowi😭😩
This is beautiful 🙌🔥 lemme go do my research as well🤸🏽
This is gold
Thank you Sister B. 🙏🙏
🙏
I love Your Work, Thank You
Thank you
If you wanna earn this much do your aws cloud practioner and aws solutions architect , no degree required.
💯
are there job opportunities?
I'm Currently doing AWS Cloud
Which company is looking for those certifications?
Let’s get granular so we see that people who have those certifications get jobs like you say.
Uyenza kuphi Bafo ?
Currently doing certificate in software dev
Doing java and SQL and linux
All the best
Im currently doing C#
Don't forget to learn the frameworks (for Java most companies in the world uses Spring Framework) and to build projects as well.
Hi, where are you doing your certificates? I was to do SQL and SAS
Where are you studying I also want to join
Software engineering, software engineering , a way to go.
But it chows.
Currently doing my data engineer programme and my AWS certificate exam, can’t wait for the doors it will open!
Please recommend where i should study from? As a beginner
I’m doing data engineering with explore AI do they have the certificate exam as part of the programme, they pay for it
@@mpholoso3261 Its not about college but more of having a good portfolio. study from anywhere including online youtube materials. After that get yourself a great portfolio, you will get a gig. certificates in some industries dont matter that much. Just choose what you want and do it well
This is God speaking to me 😅😂😂😂😭😭🤞🏾 I'm busy with my software engineering course, at first i thought this thing is easy man but as the course continues I'm starting to see small small fires 🔥 😅 so i decided to take a break and go onto youtube and your video popped up first ❤ so I'm thankful for the encouragement 🙏🏽
🤣 you're gonna see wild, wild fires... Keep at it.
🥰
Ha ha ah
Hi Boni, can you kindly do salary reviews for Network Engineers, Linux System Engineers, Ethical Hackers/Penetration Testers etc. some other time?
If I come across them
Please, I'm also a network engineer. But very new in Johannesburg. I would like to compare whats on the market
Motivation
I have AWS Cloud Practitioner, AZURE Fundamentals, and AZURE Administrator associate. Currently doing my AWS Solutions Architect exam end of June.
Seems like im on the right track looking at these video.....
😃
How long did it take you to learn for your azure admins associate?
Where are you doing these courses? How much are you paying for them?
@PrinceLekota - I’m interested in getting into this industry where are you doing the course & how much are you paying?
@k2metserampoporo219 ALX Africa has AWS cloud practioner its $175 but they have an option for you pay month by month which is about R580 a month but you only start paying after you pass their 2month foundational course
The front-end developer is SERIOUSLY underpaid.
I suspect she's still working for the same company she started at 6 years ago.
I was in her position until I realised that loyalty isn't rewarded- I left after 4 years.
Absolutely.
My first thought was that maybe it because she a woman...😅😅😅
Front end is relatively easy. The 9 year old kid next door to me can already do web development.
@@ElectrostatiCrow Your ignorance is amazing. 😊
@@compton8301 I am seriously not joking. It took me a few hours to become good at Javascript, HTML and CSS.
It is really not that hard. Try it yourself and see.
Hi can you please do a college welding instructor or pipefitter instructor or boilermaker instructor plz
I don't have it for now.
Hi Boni, I need to see anyone with a Salesforce job…
29k after tax on the first year of employment is really good
Hi sis Boni, can you do UX/UI design/product design in SA
Hello, haven't received it yet.
where do these people apply, i have both aws cloud prac and aws architecture but i do not see oppotunities, i use linkedin and Indeed for job searching, can some tell me where am i going wrong
God makes way, Praises and Glory be to the Lord
Currently doing my full Stack Software developer
Nice
Which institution are you studying with?
I am also learning the AWS cloud skill, can the guy be my mentor if he doesn't mind. Can he please connect with me.
Can we have an interview with the cloud engineer or maybe share what certification he did a bit of advise ot rather his journey
Done already, Interview coming out in July.
@@liferesetwithboni 🕺 can't wait
Can we get a lil bit more info on which certifications is best to start with to get you job ready as a Junior Software Developer.
I've done it. Video will be up in season. 4.
Certification is one of many ways to get a junior dev role. Other ways include enrolling in a software dev internship and working your way into a junior dev role, or have an impressive portfolio of projects you’ve built.
first time seeing this channel, all i can say is YOH YOH YOH😭😭😭people are actually earning out there
Welcome 🙏
Hey Sis… where is the best place to start looking for entry level jobs (or internships) with zero experience but just bootcamps & other online short course certifications?
Do you have projects?
Man i cant wait till i finish my certs this year and graduate next year😭😭these salaries give chest pains for real
Been following this channel since the time you were reviewing cybersecurity analyst. .i love it so much
Amen!🥰
If you don't mind me asking, where are you doing your certs and how can one start doing them
@@nkosingiphilembatha7940 im doing azure cloud engineering certs so its on Microsoft learning platform.
Just search on Google for the name of the certification you want to do. I prefer first doing your research on them to find out what they are and what they are for before choosing a certification. Microsoft also provides learning content right under the name of the certification so you can start learning ASAP, the same applies for other vendors like cisco, aws and comptia
@@nkosingiphilembatha7940 They are on the learning platform of the vendors offering them.
Im doing azure cloud engineering from Microsoft. Do your research before choosing a certification because theres many and they're all different, and you'll find the course content right under the name of the certification so you can start learning asap.
@@nkosingiphilembatha7940 check google for feee azure certs promotion. Maybe you can get a few exam vouchers for free
Greetings guys i am currently doing level 300 with only one year left in uni , i want to get into the cloud engineering space if you have advice for me to follow in my journey please hmu 🙏 i really need it.
Cloud practitioner from AWS is your beginner level and then move to AWS Solutions Architecture bro
Start with Microsoft Learn , the material is free.
The tax deductions are not fair thou.
Plz interview the cloud engineer
Done already, expect in July, season 4.
I’m currently doing comp Sci, very challenging and seeing people earn so much without a degree low key makes me wanna get certificates and drop out…. lol but that’s most likely won’t happened.
You are on the right track!
That's how I feel right now😢 but these people gate keep too much
Don’t quit. Finish Comp Sci, I did Comp Sci, these other streams are much easier to get into once you have that degree considering you already started. You can do these other courses as short courses but your degree will hold water.
Comp Science isn’t easy but worth it. Just pray and have faith you will find employment afterwards, then the rest is history. Hardest part is your initial employment.
I managed to get a low level job at SANRAL during e-tolls implementations and I was still a student doing the same course you doing. That helped. Try find some employment once you hit 3rd year, it will be hard to balance but you might get a gig early.
Goodluck.
Quiting will not be in your interest. Getting certificates is easy, you could literally do it as you study. When a BSc Computer Science graduate applies for any post and is put up against a person with matric and certificates the company will most likely choose you. It's only people without a degree that will tell you otherwise
The people without degrees earning these sums are outliers. There is no certificate or degree that can replace pure passion
Hi sister, may you please if you do have info, how others get jobs abroad, what's the process?
That's a broad question.
Please invite the first person the back end developer/python developer 😭😭
It's done. Recording done
@@liferesetwithboni oooh man 😭😭😭thank you so much 😭😭😭
I hope nam you interview me I’ll update you on my cloud journey passed my cloud practitioner exam today, don’t have a degree I did NCV IT and computer science from a TVET college I’m 21 Solutions architect is next then we shall see
Please email me on Xaba.bonisile@gmail.com
Don't skip ads in this channel 🤣🤣
Thank you so much. It helps a lot.
Yoh boni otlorrr bolaya😅😂
Ska bolela😂
I'm lost ke sana
@@liferesetwithboni means you will kill us😂😂
A cloud engineer should have at least a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science, engineering or other related field that provides similar skills. Unfortunately people with degrees are pushed out of tech jobs because employers cannot meet the salary demands.
Why do you say they need degrees?
@@liferesetwithboni It is a multi-disciplinary role as it needs someone with combination of IT skills from programming, networking, cyber-security, database administration/management, application integration, and many more. In most cases a degree would cover all these in a curriculum, and to specialise in cloud engineering you need to get certifications in the cloud services offered by AWS/Azure/GCP. The reason I say a degree is required is that it offers the foundation like in any specialised profession.
Should have? I don't think so. Cloud engineer jobs aren't exactly entry-level roles- a graduate with zero experience will not qualify for such jobs. However, if that graduate has a couple of cloud certs and comptia ones, then they'll have some advantage in landing an internship.
Also, software devs with one or two cloud certs can easily transition to cloud, from what I have observed.
Knowledge of networking, database, cybersecurity and etc. can be supplemented by getting specific certs such comptia network+, security+, sql courses via Udemy and etc. One can attain all of that without a degree.
Degrees get out dated certs are always updated
@@Eliastheplug However, degrees offer strong fundamentals and really train you for problem solving. I graduated from a coding bootcamp school and I currently work, but I'm gonna do a computer science degree through Unisa or Belgium Campus.
So for someone who's 30 is too late to start learning this skills if I can what do I really need the most before starting because I haven't been able to find any job recently?
Get the skill, don't let age limit you. I came to you tube at age 40 while others start at 16.
its definetly not late, i started my first year at varsity when I was 29, and I now have 3 years of experience in Software development I believe i am doing good for myself, and remember you don't really need varsity qualification , you can do certification that's actually more recognized that diploma .
@@timemtsi3512 thanks a lot I really appreciate your comment but specifically which course or bootcamp would you suggest that would definitely make it easier.
Not late. I'm 39 and got my first cert last year after being unemployed since 2019. It's never too late. Get going.
It's not too late. I got my first software development job at 30. 😊
Only in South Africa.
damn, where does the cloud engineer work? im a cloud engineer and I dont get paid this much
You should be getting paid much more then. Find another job that pays higher, your employer will counter offer you. You are likely underpaid.
If you want more money, you need to job hop. Don’t buy the idea that job hopping is bad. In the IT space that’s exactly what we do. There’s no collecting “service years”. I’ve hopped couple of times even returning to one of the companies I’ve worked at before then still left the again. Unfortunately negotiating salary increase don’t solve the issue when you under paid , you need salary adjustment for real change.
I'm doing BSC Informatics which includes accounting, computer science and IT. People don't take me seriously cz they say tech jobs don't have money but sometimes I do feel scared that maybe I'm wasting my time while many ppl are self taught can I have some advice I'm still 19yrs thou 💀
Oh, hell no!!! You are not wasting any time. You are on the right track. Having a degree will help you to get into a graduate programme and later you can move to management etc. So, it's not a waste of time at all.
They say tech jobs don't have money and what has money? 😀😀😀
@@liferesetwithboni 🤣🤣lol I don't know either. Thank you for the encouragement 🙏🥺
WOW, dear you not wasting your time. At the rate you are going continue, work on your confidence and be self assured - you will be a WIZARD!!! JACK of all Trades!!! MAFIA Continue...... All the best these videos inspire me so much!!!
Informatics makes you a jack of all trades but master of none, after that please do certification
Do Azure data engineer
Go in person.
Software engineers at tech companies earn about R3 million a year base salary at entry-level
But they employ top talent. Not all software engineers are created equal.
Lol
Ai i am dropping out in varsity ngeke phela😂😂
No ways 🥰🤣🤣🤣
I'm a software developer with a B.Sc in CS, 32yeaars and wish I got paid that much. I guess staying loyal to a company really has no financial benefits.
Zero
The best way to up your salary is to company hop. It’s terrible advise, I know, but it works
What is cloud engineer
Google the term .
Is Azure Devops Certification worth it?
I have one. It's worth it, but you need to get the specialised certificates after that. The regular azure certificate is just an entry point into the more specialised ones.
@@Asdasty Thank you, for confirming. I was talking about the specialized one.
😎
Greetings ma. How does one get hold of you?
Hello, I do not offer any one on one contact, unless you want to send me a payslip, but I don't have career advice.
mmmmm hair air maan, i think the person wa front end for 6 yrs is earning too little, she's being underpaid hai at least with that years of experience she shud be earning more than R60K .. that employer must be arrested maan dy light robery😅😅😂😂😂
I'll speak to her.
Chest pain for cloud engineer 😰 Good night.... 😂😂
Boy bye 😀😀😀
@@liferesetwithboni 😂😂
Front end developer is grossly underpaid... way be low the industry standard.
🤔
🤣 🤣 🤣 Yuwiiii yah neh.. Cloud engineer weak me.. I was jus busy with ehhh ohhh yooo yooo Matric.. Hair air maan, this life no balance
😀😀😀
Crazy stuff 🤣🤣
