I am currently working on getting my Azure certification from Microsoft. I am interested in Cloud computing and find it is mentioned on a lot of roles I am applying for. I currently work as a Business Analyst for a software development team. How valuable is Azure and what can I do with this knowledge in the future?

Maybe I am being biased but Azure is super valuable and you can do so much with it but it depends on what you want to do. Sales, Technical, inbetween, business side, and so on.

Knowing cloud technologies in general is beneficial in so many ways as so many companies use it and jobs dealing with the cloud are everywhere.

I have a meeting with someone at Mircosoft for a job and although I've worked with Azure, I don't have a certificate. It's $100 usd for the cert and I wonderful of its worth having it on my LinkedIn or not?

Certs are nice but not necessary unless you have the high level architecture certs. It's more to check your knowledge across that specific area but a cert is not needed and those not increase your chances of getting the job.

We would rather test your capabilities and see where you are rather then worrying about a cert. It's nice to have it if you want but not needed.

Any in-house antitrust counsel willing to offer up some advice? I just started in a firm's well-regarded antitrust group. What do I do over the next few years to make myself most marketable to move in-house? And when is that move actually feasible/ideal for antitrust specialists?

Seems like I can pull work from the whole discipline (merger clearance, civil lit, criminal) — should I spread myself across all of it to maximize my skillset/marketability?

All thoughts and advice welcome. TYSM :)
