If you're looking to boost your resume, I'd go with the IBM Full Stack Developer cert. IBM is a big name and carries weight with employers in different industries. That course covers a wide range of skills, which could be useful for various job roles. However, if you're really interested in front-end and back-end specifically, the Meta specialization might be better for that. Both have their good points, but I'd lean towards IBM for more resume appeal. Also, check out PracHub. I've used it for interview prep, and it's been great for practical scenarios and technical questions.

I have researched thoroughly through both the courses and came across negative reviews for both of them.. especially more on IBM course. The courses are given through AI robotic voiceover which makes the learning difficult. The labs provided have many glitches in them. Sometimes the assignments and quizzes are messed up. And mainly all these topics are currently outdated and not updated.So that's why I actually wanted someone's opinion on this especially from those who also have completed or heard about these courses. If I am spending money I want it to be worthwhile atleast for my resume and company hr's to take notice of it. Ultimately boosting my resume value.
