Is it worth getting a six sigma certification? Does it carry any weight? I'm a business analyst, transitioning over to product management. I have my CSM, CSPO, and SAFe PO/PM certs.

Depends. If you think it will some how differentiate you in the market and improve your chances for opportunities then sure! If not, grab a book off Sci-hub or pay for a book on the subject and learn it on your own.

Although, I’m pretty sure that is what you are asking, i.e. ‘would getting this cert in addition to my collection of certs actually offer me any advantage’
