I'm a SWE that works in AWS a lot. If I had the opportunity to get my certification paid for by my employer, is it a worth while thing to do? Other than the knowledge , what other benefit would there be?
Sure if paid. Otherwise learn on the job. Been doing AWS for 6 years.
Had aws cloud practitioner (employer paid). Absolutely worthless imho. Lost any interest getting more of certs
Cloud practitioner is a dumb cert, you should have started with solutions architect
Might give it a try later on
Sure, also MS Office certifications are very valuable.
Helps with systems design interviews
