From what I've seen, RHCE still holds real weight if you're aiming for a career in Linux system administration or automation. It's not just a piece of paper; employers actually recognize it because it tests practical skills through hands-on tasks rather than multiple-choice guessing. That alone sets it apart from a lot of certifications out there.
That said, whether it's "worth it" really depends on your goals. If you're already working with Ansible, networking, or enterprise Linux environments, the exam validates skills you are likely to use daily and can boost your credibility fast. If you're brand new to Linux, it might feel like a steep climb without proper prep.
I'd suggest checking CertBoosters for a clearer breakdown of the exam path, requirements, and what to expect before deciding. It made the decision easier for me: www.certboosters.com/redhat/path/rhce
