As a Scrum Master, what certification do you suggest to boost my profile attractiveness to employers?

Hi everyone
I have held my SM Certification for a few years and been in the SM role across different organisations so ready for the next step up..
What do you suggest I look at from a certification perspective? What would be the next step to boost my profile attractiveness to employers?
Now I know certification is not a silver bullet and experience is equally if not more important but need the papers to get foot on the next step of the ladder.
Examples…

      I’d suggest breadth not depth, for example

      – undertake an ICF-accredited coaching course
      – undertake Kanban Method courses (eg Kanban University accredited)

      However most importantly, never stop learning; self-directed study is also important.
      Allen Holubs’s reading list is a good start : https://holub.com/reading/

      Rather than certificates, the ability to put knowledge into action and then explain that succinctly at interview matters a lot.
