Goal is to get certified or land a job?

Coursera Google Microsoft Meta have good programs. Can get certified.

For getting a job- you will need to show your skills by doing projects on your own.
Find a business problem. Find a relevant data set. Analyze the data to find some insights that can help to solve that business problem.

Remember you don’t have to solve the business problem entirely. Just uncovering a few helpful insights from the data set would be enough.

Business problem can be anything- why people are fleeing the cities or why do vertical integration of two competing companies is problematic.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
