Why should you become Google Cloud Certified?? Here I will list 5 very compelling reasons.

1. Earn More Moolah (Money)!

The number 1 reason is you can earn more money, who doesn’t want to earn more money? By exactly how much you ask? Well according to Forbes IT 2019, the average salary for a google cloud certified professional cloud architect is around $140,000 USD. That is pretty insane for an average pay for having one certification.

2. Land Your First awesome IT Job

The second reason to get certified is to land your first awesome IT Job. If you have ever been a uni grad before, you know how hard it is to get your first job with technically “No experience”. How do you stand out from the thousands of other uni grads that just got that software engineering or computer science degree?

The answer is actually quite simple, get certified in Google Cloud! Recently, One of my friends graduated with a bachelors degree in Software Engineering, He was considering doing a Masters degree so he has a better chance of getting a job so I suggested to him to get a cloud certification to stand out from his peers.

After he got his certificate he was hired as a Junior Devops Engineer with one of the biggest companies in Australia. He saved so much money from getting the masters degree and he got a great job simply by getting a cloud certificate.

Save heaps of money from getting a Masters Degree and get a Google Cloud certificate instead it actually gives you a much better chance of getting a job

3. Work on Cutting Edge Technology

The third reason to become Google Cloud Certified is because you get to work on some of the most cutting edge technology. Nowadays everyone has heard of Big Data and Machine Learning. However, if you worked in IT before you will know that only the fortunate few get to work on anything related to BigData and Machine Learning technologies.

Since Google Cloud specialises in data analytics and data processing, many companies are moving to Google Cloud especially to leverage its Data capability. If you are google cloud certified there is a much better chance for you to work on these cutting edge technologies.

I am a good example of that, currently I am working on one of the most cutting edge real time data analytics platform with one of the biggest banks in Australia.

4. Stay Ahead of the Competition

The fourth reason is that you will stay ahead of the curve or the competition. Especially in the competitive field of Cloud or DevOps engineering. Since in this field the salary is very high many people want to transition into this field.

How do you stay ahead of the curve? Before to stay ahead many people got a AWS certificate but now nearly everyone is AWS Certified. So how do you differentiate yourself? Get a Google Certificate. Okay I will admit a year or 2 later you will probably need something else to stay ahead probably a Kubernetes Cert but for now getting a Google cloud cert is a good career decision to make.

5. You get an AWESOME looking Jacket!

The fifth reason and probably the most compelling reason is that you get a cool Jacket after you are certified to show off in your workplace and let everyone know how smart you are. Seriously I will pass the exam just to get this jacket and the material is very soft as well.

Check out the Jacket!!! Notice the wrist Logo.
