How was it? What did you use to study?

Pretty much just a vocab test on AWS technology, billing, security, etc. Lots of really good YouTube videos and resources on AWS website

Does that make you more attractive in Accenture? Or is that specifically for Amazon? The AWS cert, thinking about getting the first one.

I think both. Shows that you have overall cloud literacy which can’t hurt especially in today’s environment
