I've been analyzing the vendor-neutral vs vendor-specific certs debate as part of my research, and I'm curious about real-world experiences. Both types have their pros and cons, but I'm wondering which tends to be more valuable for long-term career growth.
From your perspective, do vendor-neutral certifications like CompTIA or (ISC)² provide more flexibility and longevity? Or do vendor-specific certs like AWS or Microsoft certifications offer better immediate opportunities?
How do you balance these in your certification strategy? I'm particularly interested in how this decision impacts IT certification ROI over time.
