I'll join Microsoft in a month as a security engineer. I'm wondering if MS provides a training budget that I could use for certification training or conferences. I am not referring to academic reimbursement for college courses. Also, what resources are available for on-demand training? For example, Udemy, Pluralsight, O'Reilly library, etc.
I don’t think we have udemy. We do have LinkedIn learning and oreily. In addition to it you do have about 10k every year if approved by your manager to fund a degree. Certs internally have little to no value. But if you insist I think it’s possible to get it funded from the team budget but when I first joined, my boss was blatant enough to say that they are of no use since you’re already at MS. Cheers and all the best
Many thanks for the information!
