Ask HN: Who cares about certifications?

4 years ago

I've got a few associate level aws certifications recently and started interviewing again. I though the certifications would be a game changer but I pretty much had to casually drop that information on interviews and suffocate the pain of having no big reactions to it.

It's was very underwhelming, and I'd like to know more about people who are certified, what did it change in your life? Were you able to leverage that to a better salary, job, contracts, etc?

I've asked a similar question on a kubernetes subreddit and I've got a lot of interesting point of views. Here's the link if you're curious:
