While not a certification, I find my Amateur Radio License to be one of my most valuable credentials besides my degrees.

1. This credential actually gives you a huge amount of privilege to use restricted radio spectra.

2. It teaches you a lot about how software, hardware, and wireless come together.

3. It's great for emergencies.

4. Opens up a lot of homebrew and DIY skill-sets for projects relating to IoT and smart devices.

I put it on my resume, though, not everyone agrees with this practice.

I will say, it's really fun to find other Hams in the industry, it makes it really easy to chit chat about a shared technical hobby.

I enjoy amateur radio too. I don't feel it's value for a software dev, especially in terms of interviews/resumes. Unless maybe you're working on radio related things.
