What are the benefits of certification (particularly Oracle and Red Hat certification)?

Question

Professional Certification

Good afternoon.

I often come across articles on how to prepare for a particular certification, how the exam goes and everything like that, but nowhere is there an answer to the question of what benefits certification gives in the future. Interested, in particular, certifications from Red Hat (RHCSA, RHCE), because. there is an opportunity to get them, and certification from Oracle (for Java and SQL), because. I am developing in this direction.

Does certification provide any advantages in the Russian Federation? Abroad? In vacancies on the same hh.ru, they are rarely mentioned, mostly only technologies that the candidate must know.

Share your experience, certificate holders.

Answer 1

abroad yes,
10% generally accepted figure

Answer 2

Certificates are needed mainly by integrators to "sell" them.
More precisely, to show that certified specialists work on this project.
Therefore, obtaining a certificate is not superfluous.
But all the same, at the beginning they will look at what you can do, and a certificate is like an additional bonus, all other things being equal.
