Would You Go For Certification Courses Or Master As A Developer by samchuks2018(op): 2:53pm On Jun 15, 2020
I am a Web/Android developer and I am planning on either going for my master or going for certification courses like aws or other certification courses. A friend of mine is advising me that going for my masters is a waste of time and money I should go for certification courses. It is more proficient in IT industry than going for masters. I don't know which one to choose kindly advice me.

I can't tell you to take advice anyhow cus there are lots of factors that will determine your action.

Truly, there are devs that don't posses a degree and do fine.

Go for both. During Masters, run an online training/ Course.

My friend learned an embedded system before masters.

I am a web deb and applying for my masters now and will continue the learning during my master.

Get your Masters now and take a space of a year to learn somewhere or self-taught after masters if you can't learn along with the school program. At leadt it won't kill you.
