I am working in IT and some of my colleagues are talking about getting certifications for a particular domain within our field of work. These certifications are expensive and requires time and effort. So are they worth getting?

I have only ever bothered getting certifications if they were a job requirement or when I was looking to pad my resume before making a move.
Ask around, your company may have some kind of tuition assistance or vouchers to cover exam fees for relevant certs.
Whenever possible take advantage of your company’s continuing education budget. Get relevant certs, take university extension classes, etc.
