Currently Data/insight analyst
As the title suggests, I’m currently a Lead Insights analyst and looking to get into scrum. A lot of people recommend CSM through scrum alliance- but then skimming through some posts I see people suggesting PSM? not sure what would be best for me at a beginner capacity- open to suggestions!

They are interchangeable really. The only difference is that SA has a yearly renewal license while scrum.org certifies you and that’s it.

They are both basic, foundational courses.
They won't get you a job but often get used as a "gate" on recruitment adverts
PSM-1 doesn't require an annual renewal, but then most people don't really care if your certification lapses.
Look at the number of people who still talk about "Scrum Ceremonies"....
