Okay thanks. I don't have the security or networking background so I plan on focusing on those basic principles alot. I'm going to make some flashcards as well.

I'm volunteering 3x a week at a networking consulting company here in town to gain some experience. I tried to find paid positions but it wasn't working out.

Should take a stab at data centers in your city if you have any.

Quick question, which CRM do yall recommend learning Salesforce or SAP? I'm getting my MBA with a MIS concentration but feel like I need to learn a CRM platform to make me more appealing for a BA or PM role. Thanks in advance.

Lol wut? CRM knowledge has nothing to do with being a BA or PM unless your goal is to work on a product or company thats bread and butter is based on said CRM. That said Salesforce imo is whats "hot in the streets"

Cats gotta stop thinking certs mean something. Unless you are on the infrastructure side you shouldnt waste your time on certs unless they are methodology/framework related i.e SCRUM,PMP,six sigma, etc

Say it again. We're past the days of certs landing you jobs. These places want experience. I've been blessed to get a chance to work with the networking team at my current company doing *****/grunt work, but it's a start and if they ever open up any positions hopefully I can jump on.

As a developer, language certs don't mean anything. As far as your question, knowing PHP would probably lend you to more opportunities in web development since it's a basic language and the concepts can transfer over to other language more-or-less. If you know JavaScript already, I'd say learn AngularJS instead of NodeJS since I see more opportunities for Angular. They're both just frameworks and it's really preference which one you like better and want to pursue further.

Whoa node.js and angular are not similar and work together with node doing the server side stuff. If you're going to learn node you should just learn the whole mean stack.

I didn't say they were similar. I said they were both frameworks (which was still incorrect). Point remains, it's preference which you want to do (back end or front end) and you'd have more opportunities with Angular from what I've seen.

I know that but remember the earlier conversations in here, HR want skills that have nothing to do with the positions. A lot of BA positions want CRM and database knowledge here.

Currently working tech support for an ISP, got a BA in Information Technology but I'm ready to make moves out of this ****** position. Goal is to go the BA/PM route but I need to strengthen my resume and technical skills first. Decided Im gonna take this Network + as my first cert and then go from there.

Cool, yeah I know javascript already and have a very shallow understanding/experience with PHP.
I'm looking more so to get experienced/knowledged in the backend rather than front end like I've been working and freelancing in for so long.
I've read about how Node is taking JS towards the backend so its interests me but I'll look into Angular also.
Thanks
