AZ-305 is generally seen as more aligned with senior Cloud Architect roles because it focuses on designing end-to-end Azure solutions, while AZ-500 is more specialized toward security engineering and operations. Both are valuable, but AZ-305 tends to open broader senior architecture opportunities, whereas AZ-500 strengthens deep security expertise rather than defining seniority on its own.
What do you think matters more in real hiring architecture breadth or security specialization?
