I am working in IT and some of my colleagues are talking about getting certifications for a particular domain within our field of work. These certifications are expensive and requires time and effort. So are they worth getting?

    Yeah it has helped me in my career.

    I did the most difficult aws certifications but turns out it doesn’t matter - even the intro certs are seen as very valuable by hiring managers, the ones where you just learn the name of services.

      Heh yeah the AWS ones are just product placement and a tiny bit of configuration soup later on.
