Speaking as a LPI 1 (101/102) alumni (self-study, no course), it's
been mentioned exactly once in my job hunting, by a recruiter for a
job I didn't get.

I suggest a RHCE will attract more attention, but an LPI 2 or 3 might
also be worth it.
I'm considering getting the Ubuntu add-on to my LPI, and either
getting the LPI 2 or RHCE on top of that.

Cheers,
