As a long time TL and engineering (hiring) manager I pay exactly zero attention to such certificates and so did every single company I worked and hired for and so did every other colleague of mine looking for engineers. If you really have nothing else to show that makes you stand out contributing to open source is still going to have a higher impact than this certificate. Your choice how you invest your time.
Hello @oleg
, you may be right, as there are different opinions, some value certificaitons, some not. For me, apart from tangible recognition, the intangible benefit is much more. I learned Java better when I prepared for my Sun certification long back. I got to learn things which I would have not learned for years if I haven't gone for certification. So, I highly regard the certification. It's one step towards mastering your skill.
