What certification should I pursue next after AZ-900 for a Junior Cloud Support role?
Asked by

I've just completed my AZ-900 Microsoft Fundamentals certification and I'm working on the SC-900 Microsoft Security certification. I'm looking for advice on which certification would be the best next step to help me secure a Junior Cloud Support role in Basel. I also have foundational knowledge from the Google IT Support Professional and Google Cybersecurity Professional certificates. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you want to stick with Azure, AZ-104 should be your target. Just a heads up, I had an Azure-related job that really helped me prepare for that exam. You might also look into AB-900 for M365 and Copilot features.

Next up, think about going for AZ-305. But remember, you should really get AZ-104 first if you want that expert title later!

Consider getting some hands-on experience, too. Chasing certifications is great, but real-world skills are what really make a difference in your career.

AZ-104 is definitely the next best move! Most junior cloud support positions really look for that certification, and if you're thinking about advancing into architecture later, AZ-305 could be a good follow-up.

CloudGuru92: Totally agree! You won’t get the expert title without having the foundational certifications like 104 first.
