What do you guys recommend instead?I have a couple years experience with SQL, SSRS, and vb.net.
But I don't feel I have enough knowledge to get a job anywhere else.
I was hired on because of my industry knowledge (the industry our software is for, not the computer industry) to write reports and have mostly self-taught myself.
I was going to try and get the MCSE in BI, but after this it seems it may be counter-productive.
Basically, I'd say there are no good replacements. But, the real issue is that there are no good lower level certifications.
True story Grant. However, IMHO, the higher level certs are also somewhat diminished as well. Particularly, if MS is going to just give up on them because they are just not generating enough money for them (like MIcrosoft needs more money :w00t:). Talk about a slap in the face to all the people who were currently heavily invested in the process of acquiring the MCM? I wouldn't be surprised if most people never went for another cert from them. It puts a stain on the whole certification process IMHO. It really makes you wonder where/who this decision actually originated from? 😀
