Which AWS certification should I pursue: Data Engineer Associate or Solutions Architect Associate?
Hi everyone,
I'm a Data Analyst with 1.5 years of experience, and I'll be starting an MSc in Data Science in the UK this September.
I've used a few AWS services before, and one of my master's modules is Large-Scale Data Engineering, so I'm considering the AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate. My long-term goal is to become a Data Scientist.
Which certification would you recommend: Data Engineer Associate or Solutions Architect Associate? Which would be more valuable for my career?
Also, what are the best resources for preparation, and roughly how long does it take? I'm a fairly fast learner.
Thanks!
