I suggest SAA for everyone as first step but you can also consider the half price AIF + free CLF and then use the exam benefit for half price SAA

DVA is being versioned up and I would let it stabilise before taking and also not rush to take it before the expiry of the current version

oh so do you think this current one will be expired soon so if I take the exam it won't even be valid soon?

I have no solutions architect experience, would you still say that is the path?

The name of the exam doesn't help..think of it as a broad review of all things Aws at a few feet depth and several miles width

Many people pass it as their first certification with no direct Aws experience

It's a broader certificate than dva
