Good to have. Certifies your skill set plus could give an edge in the recruitment process.

But

I’d say they’re not necessary but if they want to distinguish between two people, who don’t think would look more attractive on paper?

But in a different dimension, certifications are important for your firm to retain certain status with Microsoft.

Okty

Not at all in the actual job, they’re all pretty easy tools to figure out. Could help in interviewing.

They can be good to have certainly but I wouldn't say they are necessary. I know plenty of people who do not have them. But they are definitely something good to have in your back pocket if you have the time to get them.

Just a waste of time and money to be honest

Hi everyone,

Not long ago I obtained bachelors and in the interim I have been working at Morgan Stanley.

Is it even possible to to do for instance masters in law if I only have bs in business or for example masters in something related to renewable energy or so?
