Holy baloney - are you all STILL talking about SAP certification 10+ years AFTER The Certification 5 (of which I was lead author and survey wrangler - ahem) definitively proved that SAP Certification only benefitted SAP Education and rarely if ever showed demonstrable competence beyond skills at answering multiple choice questions?
To anyone seeing this comment wondering about certifications: I think your time is better spent getting skills and finding ways to prove you have them without jumping through meaningless multiple choice exam hoops.
Den, you would be surprised (or not :) ). Apparently a new generation grew up that keeps asking questions like "which certification do I need to be instantly offered a cushy SAP job". Thought I'd just write this down and send people a link.

I can't speak to what spurred Jelena to write about certifications, but I think they're pretty much bullshit.
My friend Kurt wrote about them on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/observations-re-certifications-kurt-briesemeister-prqre/ - I think his perspective _on_ certifications is more valuable than the certifications themselves. Anyone looking at his profile should read the article, not the certification list.
