Next Certification to Take?

Hello Everyone! You're probably already thinking it but yes this is going to be yet another post asking for opinions and thoughts to help decide which certification to do next, any feedback is highly appreciated. Would like to take and pass the next certification exam before August.

A bit about me, I have 7 years of experience working in various Salesforce roles and projects as a Functional Consultant/Analyst, Team Lead, Project Lead and now currently as a Business Analyst. So I am and have usually been on the client facing and stakeholder management side of things.

In my current project, I work daily in FSC and Experience Cloud (worked extensively in Experience Cloud for my last project as well) and Platform Admin ll is on my radar as I like the idea of reinforcing my general overall knowledge of Salesforce.

At the moment, I have the Admin, Platform App Builder, Business Analyst, Sales Cloud and Service Cloud consultant certifications. Due to my experience and current project, I am thinking of doing the Experience Cloud Consultant, FSC Accredited Professional or even Platform Admin ll although I'm unsure which one of these would be most valuable to do.

My company nor my project has no preference of which one to do next, so I'm basically free to choose.

For those who took the FSC exam, how did you study for it? In the past I've relied heavily on FoF practice exams to exam prep so it seems a bit daunting going in blind without doing any practice tests.

Is the Platform Admin ll cert that relevant these days? Would it be useful for someone with my experience and for my future path as I plan to stay on the functional side of things? I also guess having the Experience Cloud certification under my belt wouldn't hurt, even if it's not the most sought after.

Thanks for any input you have!
