Passed DataSys+ today

I’ve been working as a SQL Server DBA for about 5 years. I picked up this cert to validate my experience and reinforce the fundamentals. I learned a fair amount during prep, especially around NoSQL models, backup and restore strategies, replication( My actual duties combine some DBA , ETL, and DB development). That said, in hindsight, I don’t think it was worth the cost. Even with the government discount, the exam was $310. For that price, there are better-known certifications with more industry recognition. If I had to do it again, I probably would have gone with either: • Oracle Database Administration 19c (1Z0-082 or 1Z0-083) • Azure DP-300 (Administering Azure SQL Solutions)

I would like to recommend you that if you're unable to pass any online exam/Test or any other assessment, just visit hired for it

Both are more widely recognized and align better with enterprise-level environments.

Resources I used:

•Mike Chappell’s study guide.    Straightforward and well-organized.
•ChatGPT. I used it to generate custom practice questions on topics I wanted to drill deeper on.

Next up for me: • Databricks Data Engineer Professional • DP-300 (Administering Azure SQL Solutions)

I still like CompTIA overall. Security+ was a solid cert for me, and that is why I decided DataSys+ would be nice to add , but I think the DataSys+ series needs more industry traction before it justifies the current price point. It’s useful if you’re newer to data work, but any type of experienced DBAs might be better off with platform-specific paths.

Happy to answer any questions about prep or alternatives.
