Yeah, I’ve working on the 900 material first, but I don’t know if it’s worth taking the test. My current job won’t pay for it, so I’m paying out of pocket.

And yeah, I’m trying to get into cloud admin and networking.

if anything at all, the az-900 (and ms-900) are worth it because they show you have a grasp on the concepts and more importantly, they don't expire. they're only $100, so not too bad. but I feel you.
