Where/ how can I learn Azure?
Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

That depends on what you want to know and what you already know. I might just take one that sounds interesting if the company is paying for it. Free money as far as I’m concerned.
The major platform/technology certs are helpful especially if you are earlier in your career or changing career paths.
Developer certs for things AWS, Kubernates, etc. never hurt and my expand your knowledge. I would avoid niche certs or IT certs .
Certifications can certainly help your career, but they're not a guarantee of anything. First of all, doing the work means you'll learn things, so that's always to your benefit. The certification itself merely does what it says, it certifies that you did the work and were tested and passed. It will give you credibility, but it won't necessarily mean you will walk into a new job because you obtained it.

I think the AWS cert is valuable. A lot of orgs are built on these technologies and having the upper hand on which ones to use makes you valuable
Aws certs. I am thinking about getting one.
