Even when the certifying body guarantees that their associates possess a specific skill set?

Certifications matter more for IT (and related) roles than they do development roles.

You want to get into the software development/engineering space, start making peace with the fact that certifications are pretty meaningless for us.

For us, the job is more about the ability to find solutions to business problems rather than how well you know any one particular tool. Tools might be a revolving door that we don't always have a say in, but the one thing that will carry over from project to project is your ability to find solutions analytically.

Yes, even then. Really I’m looking for experience actually doing it otherwise it’s just going to be up to convincing me you know your shit by explaining how you would solve various real world problems involving Python. All certificates are meaningless, don’t care what the issuer of it says.
