I have LPIC level 1. It's not as in-demand as other more specific
certs, but I think it's seen as valuable by employers.

More recruiters and employers are likely to specifically target RHCE
or vendor-specific certs when they're looking for skills related to
RHEL or SLES (not so much RHCE for SLES, but Novell certs...) but they
also tend to be much more expensive than LPI certs.

If someone is just starting out, I might suggest LPI first to get a
foot in the door with a junior role and let the employer help get the
vendor-specific training & certs related to the specific environment.
If you have some experience under your belt already, then I'd suggest
getting more specific.

Best,
