    "I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing." -Orange Man

      not really, unless you have a specific interest in the area it won't do much for you. also note while the exam is a short easy multiple choice, actually learning to do this properly takes months if not years. All the exam really tests is that you can use splunk.

    • Indomietable on 18/08/2023 - 16:12
      +1

      I think it is still worth it. Splunk is widely used by Software Engineers to trawl through application logs. This also expose you a bit to the security side of things.
      SWE is generally good with regular expressions so you should be at home with splunk and who knows you might be able to offer your service to build dashboards or splunk apps.

      • rekke on 18/08/2023 - 19:35

        Cheers, I was having the same train of thought as this - all applications should probably have some level of logging.

    • AllYourBase11 on 19/08/2023 - 08:47

      I use Splunk daily as a SOC analyst. The cert itself wont get you a job, but it's certainly nice if you're applying at a Splunk shop and you can remove "using the toolset" as a barrier to entry.

      As said in other comments though, learning to drive after-hours in the Coles carpark is one thing, learning to drive like Schumacher is entirely another. Splunk can be a bit of a beast.

        Far less headache during work (you don't need to use your brain). Far less education. Get paid while going to school. Guaranteed and hassle-free employment. Starting salary is much better. Lots of claimable deductions.

          Yeah, agree, burnouts and headaches are common, but you can get into the industry quickly after a few months of bootcamp instead of apprenticeship these days and if you are diligent, salary will quickly increase and will catch up with tradies after couple of years.

          At most it's becoming hybrid. For fields with shortages it will remain remote. Why bend to baseless corporate demands when recruiters are constantly hassling you to leave your job and join another company.

          Also companies pushing to kill wfh have a stake in the game and has nothing to do with productivity. (banks encouraging cbd/credit card spending/justifying lease rates in general as well as being unwilling to give up their own cbd office leases …etc)

    Thanks to a certain ethnic demographics, these IT certs have become almost worthless and tend to attract more scrutiny than benefit. Coming from someone who hires in Cyber Security.

    • soan papdi on 18/08/2023 - 15:43

      Members of the demographic you're hinting at are also in many other professions where certifications are required. Truth of the matter is, every large IT company wants an army of "certified" engineers, so they make the test easy to pass. If the certificate has to truly have value, make it practical and challenging. I'll wait.

    • Gav on 18/08/2023 - 15:45

      Ditto for "computing degrees". The horror when you ask for an official transcript of individual subjects & their scores!

        Yup. Was at rmit during their massive university cheating scandal about a decade ago or so. People involved were from every background you an imagine, including local Aussies. A lot of these people from my class still somehow graduated and almost every single one of them went on to work government jobs oddly enough.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/08/2023 - 16:01
      +3

      Tbh, certs are just for ticking off legal requirements in most places. If you use them for anything more, whether that be positive or negative, and cannot assess a candidate based on pure ability, then you're probably not that good at hiring people or conducting interviews. Especially if you use them to oddly confirm your racist viewpoints, lol. You'd know shitty or even good candidates aren't isolated with any particular 'demographic' if you've actually been in this business long enough.

                  non response

                  You mean like your initial "that's not racism" non-response. Apologies, I seem to have correctly presumed you wren't looking for productive insightful debate and were just a seething racist. Typical extremist 'righty' obsessed with US lefty-righty politics.

                  Since you seem to be obsessed with hyperboles, are you this upset because you have to do the nazi salute behind closed doors now? Anyway, I'll let you get back to your cross burning ceremony. That's nOt rAciSm btw, people in 'your demographic' definitely aren't being put on watchlists in many states for hosting nazi events. Good chat 'Willy' (again just saying your name, that's nOt rAciSt. Racism definitely cannot be veiled and you are not allowed to get upset at this and call me a leftie again 'Willy'. Anonymous strangers named 'Willy' attempting to insult me behind their keyboard[because they're afraid to do it anywhere else or in people's faces] definitely hurts my fee-fees, especially since I'm apparently a LEftIe now)

    • kotposter on 18/08/2023 - 16:03

      Companies looking for partner(?)-status need to have the minimum number of certified employees which has perks (i.e. reduced costs for courses) for those heavily invested in the ecosystem. They're a tad useful for jobseekers for at least getting past the HR filter, not so much beyond it without the practical experience to support them. Coming from someone who spent years using Splunk, though got a better job in the field fortunately using something else.

      It really depend on the query and data size. Dashboards is not Splunk main function so what you see on the Splunk dashboard generally a representation of raw data.

      Tableu/PBI/Qlik dashboards generally access post processed data hence smaller and much more optimised.
