it's impossible to answer without more details. anecdotal, I'm 50 and I have no certification and my career is good, and no one ever mention them.
I'd rather be phishing!

Which is the best certification that helps you to boost your career?
I had an Oracle cert. Full OCP, back when it was the only cert Oracle offered. I got it because I thought it would be a career changer. But every time I'd apply for a job in MS-SQL server or Crystal Reports they'd look at that and say "well, he's got that cert, he must be good". And it would help me get the job. Years later, still no Oracle job. But that non-related cert mattered over and over. On those very rare occasions when they asked why I didn't have an Oracle career behind me, I'd say that the MS-SQL Server jobs were what was available. On top of that, I've noted when interviewing people that no matter what cert you have IT DOESN'T GET YOU OUT OF THE TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. You still have to stand in front of the whiteboard and go over whatever it is you are supposed to do. You still do the dance. Experience is the big factor, and the ability to get along with others is the second. My advice, based on all that, is to get one that imparts actual knowledge to you that is relevant to your career. My Oracle cert imparted knowledge that became relevant when I'd have to speak to the differences between database systems. If you don't think it will be a respected cert, take the classes for the knowledge and don't bother to pay for testing. A MySQL cert path for a programmer strikes me as an example of value added. Or taking the MongoDB or Cassandra The other issue worth bringing up are the people with too many certs. We used to call them "paper tigers" because they had all the certs and none of the necessary know-how. Some people are good test-takers, and it actually detracts since most of us know it. So if you have a ton of certs, don't put them all on the resume you give to a company. Just put in the few they asked for or one or two that impress managers.

The answer: none. My career has best been helped by a combination of University Education and experience, and more recently by my accomplishments. No certification program could now equal what I know and can bring to a company. To me Certification programs are aimed at increasing profits for the companies that offer them.
