Hey folks,
(didn't get any hits over at /r/Linux; since this is more career oriented, I'll try here...)
I know there have been a number of cert discussions here, but I'm curious to hear from the folks who have pursued the LF certs - or those who have some insight into hiring metrics. The case I often hear for Red Hat certs is: proctored, performance based exams > multiple choice. Makes sense, but the LF exams are in the same boat. I'm often surprised how little attention they get in the cert discussions considering this.
I know Red Hat has quite the market share in the US enterprise space and their exam reputation has been around longer. Do you foresee LF becoming more reputable?
Bonus Points: I know there are parts of Europe that lean more towards SUSE or Debian nix. Does the RedHat cert matter less in these regions / could the LF certs have a place there?
I ask because I live several hours from a testing center, so the remote exam for LF is appealing. But it seems stupid to take an exam if the people hiring and writing the checks don't know or care about it.
TIA!
