Is data cloud certification worth it or just over hyped bundle of things?

Sorry don't have a clue so I'm asking out. Ive core Salesforce knowledge as worked as a developer/consultant to some extent but not really a pro so want to get niche skilled in one of Salesforce clouds and found fsl,cpq,b2b but difficult to get any project without prior exp. Can I learn this and get some leverage?

POV: I’m reasonably good with exams and passed the Data Cloud exam last week at Dreamforce.

Data Cloud has more potential to be used across verticals/industries, as it is bundled with all orgs and there will be more features dependent on it over time. FSL and CPQ are very interesting, but they are a bit more niche.

Hype or not, Data Cloud is a product worthwhile checking out. And the exam is fair and preparing for it will help you understand some concepts.

It is, in general, well written. Unlike AI Associate, which is an unmitigated disaster.

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
