Yesterday, I passed my Red Hat Certified Engineer exam with flying colors. I'm willing to call it a legitimate certification. The entire test was hands-on troubleshooting ("Here's a machine that won't boot. Fix it") and installation and configuration ("Here's bare metal, and a four page description of how we want the machine setup. Go"). It's very indicative of the kind of work I do on a daily basis, so it's far more useful than a multiple-choice test would have been.
Geoff says:
Very cool. Congratulations. Does this mean a big raise, or just a gold star on your resume?
Logan says:
Nah, it’s just something to put on my resume. But I did get an unrelated and unspectacular raise last week, just before I left for the class.
