The few skills that are transferable across the whole industry are a tiny part of what it takes to do many jobs, especially more senior IC roles. There is no certification that is possible.

I think you vastly overestimate the skills that are necessary for most jobs.

Also, it should be noted that Amazon and Google don't interview for specific jobs -- they interview you for a job at the company and then you get placed. That would imply that at least at Google and Amazon, the skills are transferable across everything they do.

In other words, if I need those skills, the people doing most jobs are unsuitable.
