Hi, does the security certifications increase the chance to get a job ?
Yes. But not by much and you certainly aren't disqualified for not having any. I have none and have had good offers from FANG & co.
You learn a lot studying for them. Also, just go after the top cert needed by majority of listings.
You’d be surprised how many incompetent people I’ve interviewed with a ton of certs. Get it if your company is paying for them or you feel like it would help. I’ve never seen a big tech company give a damn about it. It’s the interview that counts (although if you came from another FAANG that might help get your foot in the door). Another thing is there is a major talent shortage in Infosec so I don’t think companies that matter care about such things.
CEH is useless. The others are pentesting focused. What line of security do you want to go to.
At the moment I am a security engineer , and do some pentest , main reason why I am asking, is worth to buy this courses to move from my current position and prove my skills with that certification ? , or I should more focus on self studying to prove my skills on interview, and the last one , I am not eligible to work in USA/Canada and I thought this certs will add a chances to obtain offers or be more interesting for recruiters.

Depends. If you have plenty of experience I would say it’s not much of a difference. The less professional experience you have the more it helps. Someone applying for a penetrating testing position with a junior experience level but a OSCP would more easily get an interview than without. OSCE seems to help a bit for more senior positions, a few days after I posted mine on LinkedIn, I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for example - doubt it was coincidence in timing.
Thanks !
