I am working in IT and some of my colleagues are talking about getting certifications for a particular domain within our field of work. These certifications are expensive and requires time and effort. So are they worth getting?

    Expensive certifications that your employer will reimburse you for that potentially increase your earnings potential and value in the job market if you do change employers? Are those worth getting? Yes. Employer not paying you for them? Still, maybe yes. Do you really need to ask? Or are you looking for an excuse to not do the thing recommended by your mentors and that’s not giving you instant gratification and a dopamine hit (like this place does)?
