I have not, and have no plan to take OSCP - though im familiar with it.

I'm relating the facts about candidates who applied to my roles with OSCP certifications. I did not hire any of them.

I do not specifically dislike OSCP, its that I do not value any of the certs merely because someone possesses them.

Certs are a marginal signal to me about your potential for discipline, may inform how deep I go on questioning, and thats it. Conversely, certs may lead to bias, particularly for some very lame ones.

I don't think it's very fair to weight letters on a resume so heavily, it's about what you can do in the role I have for you.

Having them is not something that will make a big difference to me.
