My friends OTOH have pursued hands on opportunities as they believe it will help them connect what they learned in theory through the certs. I believe at this stage in our careers, this type of granular/hands on experience is not entirely needed as long as we have an understanding of the services at a high level. I wanted to get your opinion if I was in the wrong with this thinking?

Services are always growing and changing in this space. I believe cloud is one of the unique areas where hands on, but not necessarily coding, is required.

I've never seen such positions not require coding experience with Java, python or cloud native development.

So this is interesting to hear. In that sense, I agree with OP about not needing hands on experience.

I agree with you. Hands on technical levels have a lower ceiling than strategy based views. It would be great to know everything, but that’s not realistic.

It really just comes down to what trajectory you want to keep on going and what your goals are. As a management consultant, i don’t think you need to do hands on if you have a good understanding of concepts. I also think you can have a great grasp of the concepts without pushing any buttons. Now, would you be able to fix anything? Probably not. Would anyone ever ask you to? Probably not. Would it validate you in the eyes of technical peeps if you could? Probably. Does it add value to your career? I guess it really depends on the role/project.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
