Most wont mean much, depending on the client you have. Table stakes are a current AdWords certification.

But if you are advertising yourself, co-branding your abilities with other certifications would likely add to the trust your potential clients need to feel before hiring you. Shopify and HubSpot are huge for smaller and medium sized businesses. Some people even add this credentials into their need-based search queries - “HubSpot certified marketing consultant” - for instance.

But then, if you’re looking for new clients, client testimonials may help you more.

Thank you! Good insight.

For digital, I've ran into a lot of clients onboarding who have been very adamant on SA360 knowledge. An SA360 certification wasn't necessarily a deal breaker when interviewing, but it definitely will benefit them.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
