It’s relative really. This may or may not be your opinion but it is a cynical one at best. It shows a lot of immaturity. Again I am not attacking you. When I am hiring someone and I see they have certifications that means they put in extra effort. It’s not a substitute for experience by any means but there is some foundational knowledge that comes with it. The certifications are not easy and do require studying and actual experience in the AWS ecosystem. If a team wants to look down their noses at someone who has a certification then that is a red flag to me as a potential hire. I probably wouldn’t want to work with people like that anyway. I will continue to put certifications on my resume with pride and if they don’t like it that is on them. I’ll be fine regardless of some unnecessary elitism.
