I've worked in finance, healthcare and defense industry, all those industries do not mark you negative for having IT related certifications. Continue education is a big thing in those industries and generally, degrees and certifications usually get reimbursed. For me, the key is to match certifications with their work. If I see OCAJP, but zero work experience in that space, or you work on-prem system only, but has AWS Professional, then it's obviously useless.

pretty sure they're talking about listing certifications on your linkedin, not just having certifications. i.e. it doesn't matter to this blog post that you either have or do not have a certification -- it only matters whether you have listed it on your linkedin.

  That seems artificial, no? Do I list them on my resume? Wouldn't that have the same "result"?

    i'm only saying the report only talked about what was listed on your linkedin, not whether or not you actually had them. not that we should care about being fair to what is clearly a dishonest report. my linkedin prob lists my expired aws cert. i presume the report only cares that it is listed, not that it is expired, but no idea. i have _not_ listed my no-longer-valid java cert. the report would presumably ignore that because it doesn't know about it. other folks presumably list credentials they don't have, or are expired, or were obtained fraudulently, etc. i'm not hating on their method - just don't care for misleading illustrations - too fox newsy. and i just realized the headline that i assumed was the title of the post is not actually the title of the page, which means it may not be the intended title of the post. maybe that's standard, or seo chicanery, or clickbaiting, etc.
