Well guess that would depend on how much Oracle work you do...

Yes. Then clearly get them. When it comes to ranking, having the cert vs a peer without it really helps 🤷‍♂️

Somewhat related but I got a Hadoop certification and no one even cared

Yeah a cert is pretty useless vs on the job learning but certs will open the door for recruiters to look at you more closely

K1, I'm in the Oracle practice and plan on staying in this service line even if I move firms

I say yes - and market value depends on which Oracle products. SQL = commodity. HFM (or FCCM) = rarity & high value.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
