I believe at your stage, your experience has more leverage than any other certificate. Hiring managers don't see the certificates. They just skimmed it. They see what kind of work you have done.

I can say that because I had been a hiring manager in tech for seven plus years. What I am looking for is this person who can do the work that we want, and the proof that you have of working with startups is bigger than any other certificate.

I know for big tech and startups no one cares about certificates and if I wanted to continue that path I wouldn't have made this post. but would you say having an additional small personal project on github would make the resume stand out more for agencies/consultancies? obviously having yet another multi-year significant role at Google/Amazon would be by far the best addition to the resume but clearly that's not an addition i can easily add
