I am fresh electrical engineer graduate who’s currently working as pre-sales engineer (not my type of role tbh). I worked part time as a programmer during my university days for a period of 4 years. I have mastered the programming field and can easily learn any program language in less than a week; however, as being an engineer, I wanted to specialize in a core engineer job. Currently I’ve finished 3 un-procured Cisco exams related to sales. Now I’m working on Aruba Design Professional certificate as requested by my boss. I’ve became more interested in it since it discuss engineer related topics and got me more familiar with network switches, routers, APs, RF planning and so forth. Many employees suggest that it’s not good to get certificates since other companies would think I’m only going to study at my role but the fact that I’ve been in this job for +2 months and had no background knowledge on networking I’ve literally ignored what they said but still want to know if what they told me is correct or not? Will these certificates help me in the long run for my career hunt since I’m planning to work as an engineer and not a sales person? If so how is the nature of these exam or the exam I’m taking in particular and what should I expect? Does studying the materials suggested at HPE Press is sufficient or do I need more practice?
