l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday
Definitely using both of these.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
My company, Pegasystems, is agressively hiring for Senior Solutions Consultant (presales) positions nationwide. If you are interested in working for an amazing company with market leading products and a great culture, please message me. Happy to discuss further. Assuming you are reasonably qualified, I can provide a referral as well.

2 - both cloud architecture. Helped with getting the job, but have come to really shy away from hiring over certified folks as often they aren’t as proficient as they want you to believe. If you have 9 acronyms after your name it’s too many.

1, and very little if at all. Unless you’re going for a very particular job/niche, I don’t think they add much value to the results one will put out in practice.

If a company or potential employer values these certificates or they help me further my career then by all means super helpful, but if the are arbitrary checks on boxes then no, not worth it.
I got one but it helped me a lot to climbed up the career ladder. Having certifications will give you enough edge against other applicants aspiring for a promotion. Especially when your performance is on par with each other they will start to look at the other aspects to set you apart.
I think this depends on your role and area of specialization. I have zero and it’s never been an issue. On the job experience generally trumps certifications. That said, a certification could be a foot in the door if experience is not available.
