I searched for several certifications and certificates and the results were all over the map.The Wall Street Journal recently posted an article, based on research from the Burning Glass Institute, questioning the value of certs. The WSJ title was "Skill Certificates Rarely Pay Off."
Seems they did not clearly distinguish certificates from certifications.
This tool shows some interesting findings:
BGI - The Credential Value Index
navigator.credentialvalueindex.org
For example, passing the CISSP gives a bump of $1600. Taking one of the LinkedIn Learning CISSP modules gives a bump between $1200-$2600.
Which makes me believe the tool is complete crap.
