Hello! I’m between projects right now and was curious what trainings/self-study programs people recommend to keep myself busy and learning while I am on the bench!

I’m in digital consulting. Thanks so much!

Digital is a very broad stroke — any specific area you focus on (or want to focus on)?

I’m pretty new so my projects are broad! I would say my interest is mainly in customer experience & digital marketing.

Salesforce admin or user experience designer certs are pretty easy and generally appreciated by leadership- the amount of people certified actually plays into where your firm places on the Gartner magic quadrants for a given technology.

Completely agree I’d get into to aws or GCP. Been seeing a lot of movement toward GCP in big 4 consulting lately.

Sorry for the naive question, but when you are in between projects you are on leave? For how long usually? 😅

cloud tech or analytics would be my recommendation

I'd recommend some certifications you'll be able to apply to most projects - ITIL, CPRE, Prince2 is a solid base for digital project management imo
