Six Sigma Black Belt, ISM CPSM and CPSD have been helpful in my career. I feel like everyone should hold Sigma and ASCM-CSCP.

In my opinion I think it depends on what degree you have. I have my MBA and I find that it opens doors. If you don't have a post graduate degree, I believe certifications are a good thing then.

I have 50 years of supply chain experience. In my opinion, Yes, certification is helpful.

I can't confirm for sure if it does, but I find that I get more companies/hiring managers interested in my LinkedIn profile whenever I have a new certification added to my profile.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
