Hello y'all!
Need some advice in terms of higher education.
I have 1 year of work ex in ZS-India as a Business Operations Associate & had high hopes of pursuing graduate degree from US/Europe. But due to Pandemic, all the hopes and wishes are pushed back indefinitely.
I was planning on completing some certifications meanwhile and came across Harvard Extension School Certificates. It'd cost me around $12K for a certification.
Would it be worth its cost when it comes to job market?
Thank you!😊

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.
