Does the Google project management certificate from Coursera actually help get a job or does it have a stigma of being "just a bs web cert"

What the best source of low cost online certifications and endorsements that actually gets taken seriously?

No certification alone will do this. Google certs in combo with your background and how will you present your job story will secure the position.

Cloud certs are low cost and taken seriously. There’s a shortage of cloud professionals.

Also: look into CAPM cert from PMI.

Bumping for visibility!

My take is it can’t hurt! I have a PMP but honestly no one seems to care (but I also haven’t had a job search since I earned it, so that could be different when I do!). My experience in projects has had more “pull” for sure. Lots of jr PM or coordinator jobs out there that could help you get your foot in the door.

Most of the cloud certifications are not taken seriously by employers.

I asked the same question about the google certification. I was told to try some LinkedIn learnings. I’ve run projects over the past 10 years, but don’t hold a certification. I’d like to transition into project management.

Better to take a small pay cut (10k) to work with people I know mesh well together at a smaller start up, or stay on at a larger company with higher pay but a team that has absolutely no camaraderie and struggles to work together on the daily?
