All certifications are completely worthless. Better to just upskill by following people/ groups who share their experience. (Hopefully for free)

I've tried others that are fine, but these are the ones i follow regularly. Hope this is helpful

None of them will help you land a job. All of them will raise your baseline above beginner but that’s a high price tag for little bit of knowledge. I have SAFe PO/PM, AIPMM CPM, and CSPO. If you have that kind of capital to spend, you’ll learn more from Marty Cagan, Teresa Torres, and Steve Blank books, take the money you would have spent on the certs and take an idea through the process. Everyone has million dollar ideas, no one wants to execute. Take yours and learn from it. Next time you’re in an interview, you’ll have hands on, lived experience of how you adopted and adapted principles, where you failed, and what you learned.

Methodologies can be picked up on learning platforms/services like coursera much cheaper. If you want bang for your buck on investing in your growth, look into continued formal education like a Masters, MBA, or second undergrad in a booming industry like cybersecurity or life sciences.

Pragmatic has a pretty good set of courses and certifications that helped me.

Don’t do it! It’s a negative IMO to see it.

Listen to Lenny’s podcast.

Depends on where you are located? And do you have roughly 3k to spend?

Pragmatic is nice but certifications, IMO, wont get you a job. If you are doing it for your own growth, there are many low/no cost solutions but I would not chase certifications.
