Comment on Are technical certifications of any worth?

Comments

I consider the mid or high level Cisco certifications to be meaningful (I don't have one yet, and wouldn't require one, but most CCIEs I've met have been pretty good at networking.).

CISSP, CompTIA, A+ seem to be inversely correlated with competence, although government and some employers require them (hence, I have CISSP). The CISA is pretty much just for tech auditors (which is why I have one), and only seems correlated with "able to be corporate and write reports" vs tech skills.

The Glock Armorer's cert is superior in its domain to any short tech cert.
