I’m working a Principal TPM for a FinTech firm offering digital payments platform. I have 10+ YOE and recently got MBA. One of my focus areas in MBA was business analytics where i learnt ML and NLP using R. Now, I’ll go for PMP next and thinking to pick up Google Cloud and go down Architect route. I have used AWS in the past but don’t want to pursue it further as it has grown a lot and will take me years to learn. Also, Competition! What do you folks think? What would you recommend otherwise?

This is dilemma for many.You basically are in between technical and functional role confusion.Better you go with PMP path as if you are not a regular in technical switching to technical will be difficult.

Rather than focusing on just GCP. Get certified as a Cloud architect. As a TPM i believe you need to have broad knowledge, so better to know basics of cloud technologies rather than go microscopic on one implementation of cloud technology.

More and more there is need for people who are aware of multiple options so they can help the org with what to choose for which situation.

Attaching an example course, you can research more.

Can you assist me on MBA, how you did that - is that along with job or by taking a break from job. Do you think executive MBA really helps in career growth and if yes what options I can explore. I have 8 years of experience - I want to do MBA but I can't take break from job due to responsibilities.

Just my opinion, there are 2 choices for everyone in their career. One is to be individual contributor the other one is people management. If you really like technical part and you love doing it then you can go on to become SME (Subject Matter Expert). The other way is to lead people where technical skills are not that important. If you want to go to the management route take the PMP. But you are already program manager, so there is program management certificate also offered by PMI,please have a look into it.

Also MBA is more valuable than PMP. You are already in an advantageous position,so please consult more before choosing PMP.
