If you're on the path to level 2, ask what you need to get there.
If you can get specific feedback then you can work on those things, and it also shows your boss that it's your goal so they can help you work towards it.
I know that I have to get a specific Microsoft cert to get discussions on a promotion started. I attempted the cert exam and failed pretty badly. Gotta study more.
I plan on asking for specific feedback and how I can improve and all that.
Would it be helpful to ask for suggestions on getting better at the exam stuff, or do you already have what you need and just need to put in the study time?
I have loads of resources, so I just need to study.
Any chance of getting hands-on experience? Spin up some VMs to play with?
I could look into that. I got a udemy course on sale that has simulations and stuff. If those don't cover what I am struggling with, I can totally see if we can spin up some temporary vms
Don't have any MS certs myself, but the conventional wisdom is this: Answer how you think Microsoft wants you to answer. If there are two correct answers, go the Microsoft way.
I know that's a little nebulous at your experience level. Wish I had some examples, been a few years since I looked at it.
