Azure AZ 104 vs Azure AZ 900

AZ-900 is something you could do in a week. It is geared towards managers and salespersons.
I have both. I can't see you getting any technical work from the AZ-900 unless you have a lot of other experience in the cloud.

The AZ-104 is a technical cert for azure administrators. In the US, with no cloud experience you could possibly get an entry level job without prior cloud experience. Probably $50,000 USD / Year. You should do a LOT of hands-on practice first though. MS gives a free azure account with a $200 credit that you need to use within 30 days. You could go a long way practicing with that.

To make significantly more money, you would either need at least a couple of years of cloud experience, or you should take AZ-303 and AZ-304 to get the architect certification. That will take a LOT of work unless you already are a devops person with experience. Either way, it's a heavy lift.

Hope that helps. The journey starts with the first steps. The AZ-900 is very straightforward and a get lead into doing the AZ-104.

Message me if I can help in any other way.

Best of Luck.Sandeep! We're all brothers and sisters in this journey. Stay Safe and take care.

Most of the folks are appearing and passing AZ-900 exam. This is very basic and fundamental level exam but good to go for this as a start to evaluate your basic knowledge on Azure.

AZ-104 is important one which has more value. You can also try DP-300 on Azure SQL DBA if you are more on admin side.

Personally, I have chosen and passed these as I am more of data side guy.

1. AZ-900
2. DP-900
3. DP-200
4. DP-201
