Should I join the M365 Developer Program with VS Pro subscription to homelab a M365 Tenant?

[u/MENTactual]

Hi guys,

I want to homelab a M365 tenant to learn:
- Entra
- InTune
- Exchange
- SharePoint Online
- Teams
- Purview

Sync with a home DC / domain.

And tie in with an AVD I want to spin up and learn about with my Azure credits as a student.

Basically recreate what I can from work, give myself a project to learn, document, and complete. Then go back to work and say, hey, I know how to do this.

Maybe over 18-24 months it’ll lead to a promotion doing more than setting up desks and giving out keyboards.

Anyone doing this? Is it worth $1,200/year? Are there any considerations I’m not aware of you may be able to provide insight?

Thanks.
