I don’t think any certifications hold weight with employers unless a specific certification is an expectation of the job, which I think tends to be established, paid programs in things like systems and network admin. I think Free Code Camp is great and things like it can go on your LinkedIn or may have a place on your resume, but the real value is what you learn and the ability to say to yourself and to others that you made a commitment and carried it through. If it’s there on paper, that’s one thing. But if you can tell a story about the experience and what it’s meant to you, that will make the difference.

Right. The paper is a paper. It's those skills you take away. Still I'm proud of my papers, as a bench mark of my progress.
I was once told
Paper makes paperandcertifications are the best way for advancement. Both statements have held true in my personal experience.I do agree that some hold more weight than others. CompTIA = nope. AWS/GCP/MS = yes please.
