I'm evaluating taking the cloud certification exams from Microsoft, and have a few questions

How highly do you think employers will value this exam?

What job roles would require this cert?

In your personal experience, how would this certification be weighed against other factors such as real world experience, other certifications, and having a Bachelors degree?

If you mention that other certifications are more valued, which ones are they?
