About
I agree with the basic premise that certification does indeed matter. The next points about certification are more substantive and potentially more interesting:
- that certifications help to prepare IT professionals for many of the tasks and activities they’ll encounter on the job
- that certifications provide a substantial indicator of intellectual curiosity, an interest in learning, and a drive toward accomplishment
- that certification does provide indirect benefits, in the form of better annual reviews, higher raises, possible promotions, and even occasional job offers
- That some certifications offer much more substantial earnings opportunities than others (the authors of the story don’t connect the dots, but my own experience and time in the industry convinces me that relative scarcity, degree of difficulty, perceived value, and outright demand for skills and knowledge related to specific certs all have roles to play in this phenomenon)
We tried to consolidate information on various certifications to the guidance of new people comming arround.
