I think it's still somewhat relevant to consider certifications in these cases. For instance, if you get a Harvard MBA earlier in your career, this might put you on a trajectory to succeed for the next 10 years. Hence, the guy with 10 years experience with the Harvard MBA might have measurably higher compensation than another guy who did not get a Harvard MBA 10 years ago.

Obviously, this information is less useful for people who already have 10 years of experience and are considering a Harvard MBA.
