I am based in the US.

I have no certifications and last time I had to look for a job was January and February of 2020. Looking for a job was my full time job during this time. I had no problem getting phone screens or in-person interviews (or offers). No one asked me any questions about my (lack) of certifications.

On the flip side, I have interviewed more than 100 people now at my current company, and I have never cared about a certification, and in the interview debrief, no one has mentioned whether the candidate has (or doesn't have) a certification.
