How helpful is the Google IT certificate? I'm trying to land my first help desk job. Do I have a shot at getting one of these roles before earning a CompTIA A+?

Haven't seen an actual review of it yet. Though I've seen a lot of people asking about it.
Cleared my AWS SAA cert now working on AZ-104!
Get it!
Awesome, congratulations!
I've heard good things about the AWS Security Specialty certificate too. I've done a course for it which was great, though I never bothered to take the certificate (I don't feel the need for it). Have you considered it?
I had to clear the AWS SAA before nominations started for the certification drive. Unfortunately I cleared my exam after the nomination window. Otherwise would have opted for Security speciality or SAP.
Why not SAP/Security Specialist?
I'm planning to sit for the latter later in the year

Ah, I meant why not go for the AWS Certified Security - Specialty instead of an Azure certification?
AWS SAA was a prerequisite for the security speciality in the certification drive but I cleared my exam after the nomination window and it doesn't look like I can change it at this point.
I don't quite know of this certification drive you speak about: is this specific to your company?
I have a 50% off voucher since I sat for the SAA recently, I'll just use that hehe
Yes. My company has a certification drive where it provides a voucher for free of cost.
