> I would find it a bit odd if I was hiring someone who works with AWS already and doesn't have this

Is it? I work with AWS every day, and I feel like getting the certificate will add absolutely nothing to my expertise, so it’s just wasted money.

I thought the Developer and Solutions Architect were both a complete waste of time compared to actual day to day work with AWS.

I was an AWS employee for 5 years, launched a new AWS service, and don’t have that. I guess my dreams are crushed without the Solutions Architect Associate credentials, lol.

I was an AWS employee too and found that people building services basically lived in a completely different world, hardly ever actuallyusing AWS - so I'm not surprised.
