    That is an amazing list, kudos. 2023 will be busy for you, which I know you welcome.
     
    Happy New Year CIN! Hope everyone has a good and successful 2023!

    I got too many (16) certifications in 2022.
    CompTIA: ITF+, Cloud Essentials+, A+, Data+, Project+, Linux+, PenTest+, CySA+ (maybe, took the beta)
    Microsoft: AZ-900, AI-900, DP-900, PL-900, SC-900
    (ISC)2: Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), SSCP
    Scrum.org: PSM I, PSPO I

    For 2023, my goals are:
    CompTIA: Complete earning all active certs (Net+, Cloud+, Server+, CASP+)
    (ISC)2: CISSP, CCSP (+ stretch goal: CAP/CGRC)
    AWS: Security Specialty
    Microsoft: SC-200, SC-100
    And maybe PSM II, PSPO II, and/or a PMI cert as stretch goals
    Studying for AWS Sec now, prepping for a series with ITProTV later this year. Have you taken any of the other AWS Specialty certs?
     
    In 2023, I am going for:
    - CTT+ -> already passed the exam, need to submit practical teaching video(s)
    - AZ-900 -> I had OnVue issues when I took it previously and exam was voided, I got so mad I keep rescheduling it. I need to just get it out of the way so it isn't lingering.
    - Project+
    - SCRUMstudy Scrum Agile Master
    - renew ITIL 4 since it is no longer a lifetime cert
    - maybe Data+
    - maybe DevOps Leader from DevOps Institute
    - maybe DevOps Continuous Testing from DevOps Institute
