I am a AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, and a Neo4J Certified Professional. To be honest they're both pretty basic certifications, however in my day to day use of both products I felt I had some knowledge gaps. And even when I didn't feel like I was actively missing something, I felt unsure of some decisions I was making. Just by studying for both, I was able to bridge those gaps. So having the piece of paper to go with it is nice, but the confidence it gives me is much more valuable in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing, Dakota, I agree with you completely. My experience with getting certified was similar. The PSM is an entry-level cert—it does not signify one is a Scrum expert—but there was so much information to cover that I learned so much applicable knowledge. Certs provide a structured form of learning; you don't have to figure out where to start and what to learn next.
