I took the big data specialty (now data analytics) last December and used a Udemy course (Stephane maarek and frank Kane) and found their info very useful.

I also took the a cloud guru course and read the recommended AWS white papers and AWS re-invent videos.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
