What certification should I get next?

Hello community!

I've been a developer in ServiceNow for about 3 years now. I've certified myself with CSA, ITSM, HR and CAD.
What certifications are good to get next? What's in demand? What's your experiences?

My issue is, I don't really have any experience yet with other modules, so I don't really have a clue what's more fun and interesting and such with them. I've checked through the first overview parts of courses for instance for: Discovery, CSM, FSM and SPM. Are there any other good certifications to get?

Tried to get guidance on a good path from my manager too, but was simply told, do what you think is most fun. 
But that's hard as I've got no clue so far 🙂

Hi @Joakim St_ckel ,

 

Instead of looking at a new CIS you should instead look at the demand. To take a certification without any demand will not get you anything, as you will not work with the solutions until the real demand is there.

Hi @Joakim St_ckel 

 

Agree with @AndersBGS , I would prefer to get the hands-on where you are already certified. Doing certification without the actual hands on not worth. 

 

You may go for GRC and HAM/SAM if you think it fits.

Yeah, that's where my thoughts are too. To get more hands-on experience first for sure. Really not interested in studying for an exam without first of having worked with it in any way, and then not possibly work with it for a year or more.

Have you considered either of the certified architect roles? Technical or master...you might find that more beneficial for career path.
