Like everyone who have commented, CEH is a beginning level security cert which is heavily focused on tools used by hackers and one should understand how these tools are used and what are the defensive measures against it. It certainly add value to my credentials as I might not be a penetration tester, it's better to know more things to help you in your future job (i.e probably getting by HR).  

also depending on what you wanna do in your next career, the different certs will definitely get you there....provided you have enough working experiences in that area / specialization for example:

CISA - IT/IS Auditor / Manager
CISM - Info Sect Officer / Manager
CISSP - Info Sect Officer / Manager

passing the cert is one thing, applying for the cert with enough experience is another story.
