    Hi all,
    I did my MCSE quite a few years ago and did a few certifications since then . Last month I got laid off (the IT jobs are moving overseas), and decided to do some contracting.
    To that end I am doing my CCNA last week and this, but was wondering if the MCSE is valued that much in the marketplace? Also, as the current server OS is 2012, I assume a newer version will be outquite soon, and there will be a new MCSE cert route soon?

    TIA
    Eoin

    After the CCNA , get the MCSA in server 2012. That'll be enough to get you a half decent job.Theres a lot of 2012 installs around the place , it isnt going anywhere soon.
    I'm still dong server 2003 migrations on sites.

    Thanks, yea working on a site now that only just got their DCs to 2008, so even though server 2016 or whatever it will be called will be out next year I reckon we'll have a good bit of work.

    Thanks
