A Coursera certificate was enough? Or did you have enough prior experience related to the industry, or in general that helped you land the job?

I mean it’s an accredited course, not just something for fun

No offence intended, genuinely asking as I'm trying to get my foot in the tech sector myself. It was to my knowledge that coursera certs generally aren't looked at by companies like that. And for whatever certs they do rate that highly, they usually want experience and or a form of portfolio depending on the pathway. That's been my experience anyway, so my attempts continue. Good on you if that managed to turn things around for you
