What Azure certifications should I consider as a backend engineer?
Asked by

I'm a backend engineer with experience in Golang, Java, and a bit of C#. I've used Azure mostly just to get tasks done without deep diving into it. My company offers financial support for Microsoft Certifications, and I'm looking for advice on which ones would be beneficial for my career goals. I aim to move up from SWE2 to a senior level soon. How can these certs help me, and what's a realistic time commitment to prepare for them? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

A solid path could be AZ-900 first, then move onto AZ-204 and AZ-400. It covers both development and operations nicely, especially if your company is willing to pay for it!
