Certifications are very subjective and relevant to the domain/industry. Experience always has the upper hand irrespective of the domain. Certifications however can land you entry level jobs or internships.

Having done various certifications in the past (for timepass and during COVID when I had extra time) and given interviews (non-tech), I'm yet to see someone question me anything on the certifications I've done till now. Had zero impact. There are certain companies in my domain that mention certifications as a mandatory requirement in their JD in hiring posts for experienced candidates and I just avoid such ones like the plague. They clearly don't know what they're hiring for.

Experience is the real-world teacher, certifications are just the report cards. But, why not be the student who excels in both?

Experience is the real deal. Certifications? Just fancy paper. Real-world challenges can't be solved by textbook knowledge.

Certificate just looks good in CV/ Profile. It is only experience, helps in real life to perform.
