Career Paths

This section organizes the guides by role instead of by vendor. The goal is not to claim that there is one mandatory certification order for every job title. The goal is to give readers a sensible sequence: what to learn first, which certification families build the right foundation, and where to branch next once the basics are stable.

Current paths now bridge from the already-published foundations on the site into live vendor sections, especially CompTIA, AWS, and Azure. As the Databricks and Confluent areas deepen, these pages can grow into fuller role maps that connect shared foundations to more specialized data, streaming, and platform tracks.

Start with Help Desk if the goal is entry-level support, troubleshooting, and desktop operations. Start with Cloud Architect if the goal is cloud design, infrastructure judgment, and a later move into the live AWS and Azure architecture sections.
