It is a framework... a mental model how to approach a problem. Not sure about ROI... I guess it depends how much you have to study for it

What I have realized about the certifications so far is that more than anyone else, you will care the most about it in the long run. Believe it or not, it matters.

Can be useful, but if you don't die of boredom from the certification process you definitely will from the EA work

Depends on your career goals, as does any career development decision.

If you plan on building your career in consulting on these types of projects then it may make sense to get certified to help you speak the language. Otherwise you probably know your stuff well enough anyway.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
