Certification process like what Cisco has.
All companies attempt to give the same interviews, just have one centralized organization give two programing questions and two system design questions and some kind of proof once you pass it.
You filter every one that can't pass the interview in the first place, you get a better interview experience, and just focus on experience
- singleshot_ 7mo agoThis sounds an awful lot like a college diploma.
- tayo42 7mo agoColleges aren't all equal. Professional certifications are different
- hunterpayne 7mo agoProfessional certifications have a terrible reputation for good reason. You are perhaps too young to know why this is a silly idea. But its been tried and it failed spectacularly.
- acheron 7mo agoIt works in essentially every other profession. Programming isn’t that special.
- jjmarr 7mo agoIn essentially every other profession the credential is gated behind years of work experience and often a degree or course. We already have such a credential. It's called "lasting two years at a FAANG+ without getting fired". If you do that you can get interviews anywhere.
- operatingthetan 7mo agoIt appears that the coding job will be some variation will be some variation of vibecoding going forward, so a professional cert might be good enough.
- tayo42 7mo agoI have an example of a certification that is useful in my first comment...
- bigfishrunning 7mo agoLots of people get through engineering school but are terrible engineers. Interviews are important (and difficult... Not many people are good interviewers!)
