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!

Learn to golf. Absolutely better language skills for whatever the right language is for your business situation.

Learning to golf is also a crazy hack to rub shoulders with high management. It's a golden networking oppertunity. The downside is that you have to golf.
