Been coasting in my career for the past few years, looking to make some changes
I've been at my current job for just over 5 years, still my first job since getting my CS degree (in 2020). I haven't been learning anything new or advancing my skills at my job in the past few years, so I'm looking to get a certification to improve my resume and find something better.
I don't really have a "specialization" at my current job; I use C# and work with MySQL databases, REST APIs, and occasionally make desktop apps with WPF. I've heard getting cloud certifications are a good way to make my resume more appealing, Azure specifically since I work in C#. Currently I have no experience working with any cloud services.
I was thinking of going for an AZ-204 certification, but with it being phased out at the end of July, idk if I'd have enough time to pass the exam. Should I just start with AZ-900 or AZ-104 for now? I'm also open to any other sort of certs that could help me find something new.
Tbh I'm not even sure what kind of job I'd want to move into, all I know is I need to get out of my current position. I'd prefer a developer role, but I'm open to pretty much anything that my CS degree would be applicable to.
