I heard this back in the day when the CNE was "money printing machine, " and the MCSE just kicked off. So nothing has changed from the complainer side of things.
Certs have value depending on the person's skills. Never hire just because they have a CISSP or XYZ.
Sometimes it's just the key to the door to the interview. From there it's up to Employer to properly vet the candidate. If they hire an idiot with a paper cert, then it's their fault... and then they write an article. LOL
time, it's all about time or lack of it. So if a person is hiring and goes to your website... they aren't going to type help, then resume, then open the pdf... which could be infested with malware (just kidding). too many clicks.
research potential companies you might want to work for, pick up the phone, network etc
Automation: less jobs, Government (at least in Europe/Cdn) say more people we need to import more people to fill the jobs... but millions of jobs will disappear over the next 10 yrs.
maybe true in Silicon valley but more concerning is the age of companies... and how long their life is (very short). there are many opportunities for IT workers in non-tech companies. (just my opinion and I'm older mid 40's)
