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?

This isn't the place to ask. Go figure out if your industry cares about these certifications. I am a software engineer certified in nothing and I've never been asked about them. Pretty sure it's the opposite for IT/infrastructure type roles, but again, you're just gonna get anecdotes here and not really accurate information.

You don't get asked for them - companies pick someone with the cert before you and you will never know. :)
