If you enjoy coding and building applications, the Azure Developer (AZ-204) path is ideal. It leverages your .NET skills and focuses on developing cloud-based solutions.
If you're interested in automating processes and managing infrastructure, consider the Azure DevOps Engineer path. It combines development and operations, emphasizing automation and continuous delivery.
If you're aiming for a leadership role in cloud architecture, the Azure Solutions Architect path is suitable. It requires a broad understanding of Azure services and solution design.

Go for
AZ-204(Azure Developer Associate)It’s designed exactly for .NET developers.
