Here are some additional benefits if you think of this as the beginning of your certification journey:
It may be your first exposure to the exam software and it's less stressful to start with a simpler exam
You become familiar with the style of questions asked in the more difficult exams
You get your first 50% off voucher for the next certification if you pass
The exam is mostly focused on a solid understanding of the terminology and basic concepts which is a super helpful building block to tackle more challenging certifications later
I would still strongly recommend to get the Solutions Architect - Associate certification as soon as you can afterward, that one validates a lot more knowledge and thus has a bit more "prestige".
Tip: If English is not your first language, you get 30 minutes extra for free if you add the "ESL +30" exam accommodation before booking the exam, see here for more details.
