Regarding courses, experience & skills always trump these certifications. So even working at a small place will help in gaining skills and network which will definitely help you in the future.
However, do not sit idle for too long. If nothing comes up in few months, then think about these courses ONLY so negativity does not affect you while sitting idle and at least the mind would be doing something productive.
Rather talk to the people who're doing what you want to do and ask them about stuf. Sir with them watch the work up close. The best is to start working at a place where you get to learn even if it pays less.
Currently, I am stuck in my career, and I stumbled across some certifications, as sitting idle is eating me up. I want to ask if the certificate courses from ▮▮▮ and ▮▮▮ help, as they are costing upwards of 10k some going beyond 100k. Do they anyhow standout in my CV considering I apply to tier 1 or 2 law firms? The certifications are of M&A and IBC.
Please help a brother out...
