Any certification advice for a public sector PM looking to transfer to the tech field?

I am currently completing my Agile practitioner certification but I wanted to know if anyone has any other certifications they would recommend me doing to help establish credibility and knowledge?

I am thinking of also taking a scrum course but any further advice would be appreciated, for further background I am also a contractor so would want the certifications to be widely recognised.

Hi, sorry for late response, just wondering what you decided to do in the end?

Hi no problem at all! Currently I have undertaken Agile and will be starting a JavaScript course soon, I have spoken with a few recruiters on the matter and they have advised at this stage it’s just a case of finding a role which does not require a technical skillset but allows for exposure so this is the route I’ll be taking for now :)

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?
