My manager basically gave me an unlimited budget to get whatever certifications I want. My career profile is similar to a Solution Architect- what should I get? I am thinking about Okta (I do some SAML work), Domo, ITIL, Six Sigma, Certified Scrum Product Owner, Six Sigma, anything else? I have AWS Cloud Practitioner already. I am hoping to pivot to Product Management or Data Science.

I don't think you need all twelve sigma. A half dozen should be fine.

You could look into azure, aws, gcp data scientist training. I took Azure DP-100 recently, it was good

They have prep courses (at least MSFT does) if you don't have DS background

I’d be a no on Okta - certs or skills around IDP/SAML yes but not Okta specifically.

Plus SAML is a commodity at this point. REST/Graph all the underlying technologies are better things to understand.

SAFe is another good one to add to the list
