Curious what this group thinks are the most well-rounded certifications or formal trainings for tech consulting overall — not just deep technical certs. (Maybe AWS, GCP, Azure).

If you had to pick 1–3 that truly make someone a stronger, more versatile tech consultant, what would they be and why? Thank you!

You have listed cloud providers. You can do foundational cert for any, if cloud is your area. Or you can do foundational cert for AI. It could be cloud + AI- that covers infrastructure and AI.

There is no cert that covers all , all are specific. So depends on your focus area.

I think you should certify your AI agents in all of the above

Let me be clear, my input is the value of these certs is fast declining.

I say this as someone who has worked in engineering and architecture for years, and has many certs.

Now I work somewhere where we use AI not only to reason about complex architecture, but to deploy, eval, and iterate on it with minimal human intervention. Our biggest challenge isn't understanding architecture, it's working on improving our AI systems.

Hope that helps.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
