Certifications
Do certifications matter to a SWE? If so, which ones are most valuable, and why? If not, what's a better way to learn/improve? #tech #career #certs
Learn what you want to learn, improve what you want to improve. If you want to learn/practice ds&a, just solve leetcode problems, if you want to learn distributed systems, try to read books and implement consensus algorithms. That’s it.
If you have IOI Silver-Gold or ACM ICPC medal then this counts
Ahhh like collegiate programming competition medals?
In the world of showoff and self promotion on LinkedIn. It’s good to have cert. I see many non deserving and one who don’t have any practical knowledge on cloud are right now cloud architects.🫣
Agree, have seen people with no degree in CS and a “certificate of cybersecurity” popping up at Google.
I mean i feel like they make you look passionate about your craft and are great talking points in an interview if you got a project or take away you can pin it too. But as far as getting a jobs go i don’t think they are a deciding factor.
