Is getting online certificates for courses really worth it when you can just speed run it
Asking from a job perspective
like idk most of my friends just speed run them without getting any real benefits form it
So whats stopping others from doing it
its like 1 more to the millions why would the certificate even matter then or will it ?
Im talking about the courses on Coursera , etc.
Should i waste [ i call it a waste because i think youtube has a lot of the content for free and with a lot of options , etc ] my time doing these certifications or build some working projects which will indirectly , directly make me better in that technology + will get me real experience.
Ik this is not replit related but just looking for some guidance from ppl in the same area
Ty for helping btw , kinda confused with the whole system , dont get what exactly i am running for .
I mean for me, it really depends. That’s it. If the course is taught by a prestigious professor from Harvard (or really any college level course) then it’s definitely a resume booster if it has a letter grading system and you score well. Imma ping an employer and see what he looks for @whileTRUEpass
Personally I’m not a huge fan of getting certificates for course completion as the courses can easily be “speedran”. Regardless, if you’re looking for a job you’ll need something to put on your resume.
Typically, someone will list a bunch of projects they put into production, experience, or certificates on their resume.
