I've honestly never come across any of those. Mind you, I've been in this business a long time (over 25 years now), so I guess that all sorts of new certifications have come into being since I did all the ones that I needed. I tend to just do the ones that I need for the job now, which most recently has been a whole bunch of CA training courses.

I gained a Microsoft certification a few years ago. I can't say it has directly brought me any new work (I'm an independent software developer), but it's a definite plus on my c.v. And I'm sure the logo on my website does no harm, nor does the the framed certificate in my office.

As others have said, it depends in what field you are seeking to be certified. But for the most part, I'd say go for it. It could well help your career. If nothing else, it will improve your self-esteem.
