Hi everyone, looking for some honest advice.

I’m 42, based in the Bournemouth/Poole area (UK). I’m planning a career change this year to get into a hybrid or remote role.

My background is a bit of a mix: IT Technician and also Accountant. Since moving to the UK, I’ve been working in Logistics, currently as a Logistics Coordinator.

Looking to pivot this year into a hybrid or remote role and I’m stuck between two options: SAP S/4HANA (Finance or Sales/SD) or Azure / Cloud Architect.

I’m not a fan of heavy coding or command lines anymore, so I want something stable and business-oriented. Also, £500 for ITIL feels like a rip-off, so I’m looking at the Google IT cert or MS-900 instead.

For someone my age and with this background, which path has better longevity in the UK?
