    Like some other replies said, it probably won't get you a job by itself. But it may get you the interview if it's the distinguishing factor between you and an equivalent candidate.

    I got RHCSA (and later RHCE), and I think they were worthwhile. On cost, I would not go out of pocket for the Red Hat training if that's the bundle you're referring to. That stuff is priced for people that are being funded by their companies. Personally, I did self-study using Sander van Vugt's materials. He has both books and videos for RHCSA, depending on your learning style. I found them to be excellent preparation for the exam.

    Not sure if this one is already common knowledge, but I thought I'd share an interesting tool I recently discovered. Vagrant is a CLI wrapper for various virtualization providers (VirtualBox, libvirt, etc), that allows you to spin up and tear down VMs based on predefined "boxes" (sort of analogous to Docker images). Saves a ton of time running OS installers from isos. Seems really good for use cases where VM longevity isn't really a factor. I'll be using it to experiment/break things while studying for certs.
