As someone who has spent A LOT of time getting certifications, this is a question I ask myself a lot. In the past, I was all about them, in some part because I had the time and resources to do them and less so because I thought they were the key to big career or knowledge gains. These days, I recommend to newer folks in the field to limit caring about certs and focus more on the prize (practical learning and real experience). Anyways, thought this was an interesting read.

      That’s a lot of cool cert you have there! I currently have 3x AWS Associate certs, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS Security Specialty, eJPT and an old ITIL cert i got when i first started in IT. I’m planning to do the PNPT in a couple of weeks and aiming for either Azure certs or CCSP after that.
