Certs ? junior in university /u/electric_deer200 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m currently on the job hunt and haven’t had much luck this round. My parents are kinda forcing me to get a certification (no they will not take no for an answer they want me to do some certs), even though I’ve often heard it’s more valuable to focus on building projects. I’m considering an AWS or Azure certification, as they seem to be well-regarded (any specific certs over here ?). However, I’m curious if there are other worthwhile software development certifications I should look into? maybe some software security certs ?

For context, I primarily work with the MERN stack, but I’m a quick learner and open to exploring new areas. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
