True, especially if your organization is a partner(more so for in demand niche skills) of organization whose certification you plan to pursue.

It ain't worth much on its face value but if you're thorough with the content of those certifications it will obviously have an impact.

Although demonstrated proficiency is more important than certification, it is helpful to get external certification as part of annual appraisal goals.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
