It doesn't matter how many certs you have or even if you have a degree or not,
It all comes down to a Resume with a proven track record. Experience is what management looks for, not people with a few certs and only a hot minute in IT. and another thing. It ain't about the title , its about the pay . If you get hung up on the title then you're only wasting everyone's time. It is about troubleshooting and the ability to adapt and learn .
