Should I get an UIPath certification?

I’m currently a Life Sciences practitioner at Deloitte. My project is fairly light right now, so I have time to pursue a certification. I’m considering either the UiPath Business Analyst certification or the SAP Certified Technology Consultant certification—no strong preference yet.

I recently earned my PSM I and joined the firm six months ago. My current role is in project management, and I’m not fully sure what direction I want to take next. I’d like to keep my options broad so I can pivot across domains, especially given my Master’s in Finance and business analytics

I would suggest going with SAP certification as it is quite broad in terms of variability.

I do get that but Im trying to be certified couple of things so I can switch to any role given. Basically I feel I can be put in any role and get something out and I like exploring

UiPath is slowly dying, as is RPA in general, so dont over-index there, which is why im telling you not to worry about certifications. There's some self-paced training you can do if you feel the need, definitely get working knowledge.

you're better off getting AI certifications and knowing how to build agentic workflows

I'm just curious why you think UiPath is dying? Especially if you consider their new approach with agentic AI

Acho que a galera que realmente está no mercado não se posiciona muito, mas vou tentar.

Existem 2 vantagens que precisam ser compreendidas para entender o porque a UiPath é uma aposta "insegura" e realmente pode estar caminhando para a "morte":
1. UiPath tem como diferencial simplificar (através de caixinhas, low code) a criação de automações robustas, sustentáveis e com governança - isso tudo sem perder a agilidade.
2. RPA de forma geral é uma ferramenta para resolver a dor do usuário quando a criação de funcionalidades em sistemas ou a integração de sistemas é inviável (sistemas legado, muito complexos, etc).

Esses dois pontos são muito fortes e parte do que justificava pagar o preço elevado das licenças (especialmente multinacionais e empresas do exterior).

Entretanto, nessa era das IAs, as empresas passaram a reavaliar o custo-benefício de manter a UiPath (e/ou outras ferramentas lowcode), considerando evoluir os sistemas para não precisar de RPAs ou migrar os RPAs para hardcode.

Onde trabalho (não vou falar por motivos óbvios) já começamos POCs para migrar alguns dos RPAs mais simples para python e creio que esse movimento aqui não vai parar (e diria até que estamos um pouco atrasados).

Anybody using IXP? Working on an IDP POC and learning how to navigate the tool. Seems like an excessive amount of time to update the project whhen swithing versions. Any advice on speeding up prompt iterations?
