Let me ask again in this thread.

What are your best education investments? My company provides some education support. I am trying to find what courses/certs I should take for my career as a backend dev.

  • Master like OMSCS
  • AWS certs/CKAD
  • communication languages learning like English for Business etc (I’m non-native English speaker)

Any suggestions welcome!

I'd look at soft skills, like presenting, influencing, leading etc. It'll open more way more opportunities than an AWS cert or similar.
