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

Certifications are always good. Look good on LinkedIn profile and resume

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.
