Hi Parveen,

Very good question to have in the early years of your career.

First of all I recommend dont spam your profile with udemy /linkedin certifications.

1. Do the ones that are related to your field (backend/frontend/analysis/AI) or t
2. Do the ones that you plan to make a part of your career in near future (AI/ CI-CD/ Management).

Certifications are usually underrated because either people do irrelevant ones or they dont do at all.

Do less but effective ones only and it will make a highlight of your resume.
