Bro what is the point, there's no correlation between those articles and the course. Azure is a multibillion dollar industry. If you don't like the tech stack that's cool and all but these are valuable in that ecosystem.

Quote from Rogerflog7 :
I agree that 900 level has questionable value. I took AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals or something (yep, it was forgettable) and I didn't bother to cash in the voucher because more than half of the content was Azure marketing fluff.

That said, I use Azure on a daily basis. It is massive, it is not going away, and if Microsoft is gonna provide quality learning material beyond the basic Documentation, I'll always give it a shot.
You are right, half of them are marketing fluff, but the remaining half still isn't bad. At least for a 'noobie', they are going to learn something in general, like the difference between availability sets and availability zones, or the benefits between cloud versus on-premises. I acquired the AZ900 and AWS Practitioner certifications one or two years ago; they were both on promotion, so I obtained both.

After acquiring the certifications, I included them on my resume. In my last job interview, the interviewer asked me about them and what I had learned from these certifications.
By completing that course, I have an idea how to explain it at a high-level rather than in a detailed, working-level manner during the interview.

Understood that I may have to wait a week after the challenge ends per your previous comment.

Trying to see if I did anything wrong where I am not eligible for the free exam. For example, if I wanted cash back from R*ten, and I didn't use the right link, I become ineligible for the cash back. If that happened to this deal, I wouldn't have been able get that free exam, and maybe not receiving that email is an indication of that.

I guess regardless, I won't be able to do much anyway; it's either Msft gives me the offer for a free exam or not.

I got my free exam voucher code email, but when I try to schedule exam, the discount does not apply and it says there's no discount associated with my email (see below). Anyone else try yet? I used my personal email when registering, which is where I received the email from microsoft too...
