AWS certification vs Azure certification or any other?

There are trade offs. AWS is more complex but the learning resources are really good and cheap (acloud.guru), making it easier to learn. There’s also one exam for the Solution Arch Associate that gives you instant value in the market. Downside is certs completely expire every 2 years forcing you to stay up to date on the latest services to retake the exam. Azure requires 4-5 tests before you get any kind of credential but it can be renewed without retaking the exams. Also, there is really no good learning material available to the masses. They very much promote the closed $1500-$2000 classroom model.

AWS is more universal and the concepts are transferable to Azure, especially if you’ve got a .NET background. So I’d go with that.

AWS is easier is the word on the street

Google Cloud Platform is another cert you may want to obtain. They are agressively going after marquee clients.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
