AWS is hands down the leader today. That’s not to say azure is on their tail and may surpass. AWS will be a better entry way into Azure if you don’t have a lot of MS architectural experience. I have a lot of MS experience so I am going AWS and at any point go into azure with my MS knowledge and new AWS. My .02

Joking aside, I'd pick the one your firm sells more work in. It's invaluable to have people you can bounce questions off of and validate your architecture. There are enough differences that intimate knowledge of individual services is crucial. Eg what's the difference between Azure ACS and AWS ECS.

Thanks for the input all!

A1- that’s hilarious

Good thread, subbed. Agree with most you need both.

SHOULD I ACCEPT THE OFFER?

I'm at a target uni for Big 4 accounting. I applied for and received an offer for Summer 2023 Risk&FinancialAdvisory - Technology internship w Deloitte. I'd like to get into Big 4 consulting ideally when full-time. I'm an engineering student - I'm not going to be interested in IT audit. Summer 2023 will be the summer after sophomore year, so I'll be declining the full-time return offer and I'll be looking for a different internship after junior year.

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
