As investment banks hoover up cloud computing talent, now might seem a good time to take a cloud computing qualification. With banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorganon AWS, getting AWS certified might seem a good place to start. But if you want to stand out, you could also try something a little different.<\/p>\n
Boris Serebrinskiy, one of Morgan Stanley's distinguished engineers,focused on cloud analytics and data warehousing, has taken Snowflake's advanced architect certification. According to Serebrinsky's own exam certificate, he scored 70%, after previously scoring 80% on the SnowPro core exam in December.<\/p>\n
For anyonenot yet familiar with Snowflake, it's a cloud computing company with a market capitalization of around $120bn - greater than IBM. The company went public in the largest ever IPO for a U.S. software company last September. Morgan Stanley was one of the lead underwriters.<\/p>\n
Snowflake offers a cloud-built data warehouse in the form of software as a service. It allows users like banks to store data on different cloud storage providers like AWS or Google, and to analyze it in a single place.<\/p>\n
Comparatively few technologists in finance have SnowPro qualifications so far and many of the company's clients are in retail banking or insurance, but last year Snowflake signed a deal worth millions of dollars with Goldman Sachs.Having a Snowpro exam on your resumeisn't an alternative to AWS, but it might be a good addition.<\/p>\n
