I'm a current business analyst trying to move up in my career. I had a few interviews within my organization for an business intelligence and data analyst positions but was turned down on both because I don't have any cloud experience. I started a cloud practitioner on AWS skill builder website for free. Would this be beneficial in gaining the certificate so that I can move on to a better paying gig? There is no growth on my current team and the job is very stagnant and stale. I just want to do more than just build basic reports from SQL and listen to managers yap in meetings all day

They don’t communicate properly at my job. We have a bunch of 3rd party contractors with full access in the company Slack. The security manager changed them all to guest accounts and it broke stuff.
He had mentioned that he wanted to do it, but he didn’t tell anyone that he was going to. He’s overseas, so he did it last night and I woke up this morning to chaos

Reminds me of when one guy I was working with wanted to update our clients render nodes. He told no one and broke all nodes and messed up the IP's. I had to spend 6 hours in the datacentre reconfiguring them the next day.

This is a good course https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-new/. If you decide to go ahead.

I looked at that course before I found the free class on Amazon website. I’m going to try that first and see if that good enough for the test. So far, the material seems very simple to understand plus I already understand database terminology from using SQL for my current role.
I used the Amazon free course and paid for the Official Amazon quizzes. I was able to get my cert after about 3-4 weeks of studying. The best part about the test is that the answers are straightforward and not vague like the CompTia tests
I just finished the 2nd course (Compute in the Cloud) and the material is not hard at all. I just have to watch the wording with the assessment questions at the end of each session. If I focus a hour a day on it, I should be done with the class within 2-3 weeks. Can I download the cloud for free on AWS so that I can use it?

I am going to take the AWS dev course before the end of the year. I meant to take it earlier this year but never had time and then caught up with working on my thesis.
I have the course and I started it but I should be able to cram everything in a few weeks.
I also plan to take Sec+ and google cloud, if i have time.
In an ideal world I'd do the AWS architect associate as well but I don't use AWS enough to make cramming that possible.

Did they explain what kind of "cloud experience" you need for business intelligence and data analytics? Or where they on some
?Those mainline AWS certs (cloud practitioner, solutions architect, sysops administrator) lean into the general tech/IT/IS domain. I can't see someone in business intelligence or data analytics needing broad knowledge in compute, networking, security, etc.
Being a DBA or DE are typically specialists. I would imagine needing more specialized knowledge in Spark, Snowflake, or some other data engineering framework.
You may need to reach out to someone in your company that already has one of those positions to see what qualifications you need.
