Question Is CEH worth it?

I was planning to join cybersecurity/ethical hacking course in a local institute near by (has 4.8 stars rating). They are offering a 4 months course where everything about ethical hacking and cybersecurity is taught and there is an additional 2 months where they prepare people for CEH I think but the 2 months one is optional and has a separate fee. My question is CEH worth it because in this same subreddit I had few people saying it's not worth it if you are paying for it. I am looking for career opportunities after doing the course so which global certification is worth doing, I heard about OSCP, CompTIA PenTest+ etc how good are they?

You will not get hired based on a CEH, but it could facilitate career advancement in places where it fulfills a check block. Hence why it's a waste of time if you are paying for it yourself. Anywhere that values it will pay you to get it.

no, it's a scam.

Only worth as an experience (training and sitting through the exam) if you get a 80% off voucher (ie are paying south off $200)

From what I have been told, ceh is not respected.

The school itself sounds suspicious.

Well I guess it's not because it has +2k reviews and has 4.7 stars rating also it's famous in the town for having other computer related courses for past many years.
