MCSE+S or Security+

Hi all. If you were already an MCSE had to make a choice between going for
either a the vendor specific MCSE+S or non-vendor specific Security+, which
one would you choose and why?

I was originally going for the MCSE+S, but am having 2nd doubts now.
Eventhoug it's a killer, it kinda look like it's better to so the Security+
and then CISSP route. I may develop a brian anyrisn trying to pass the
CISSP exam, but it ian't rocket science, right?

Why not get Security+ and apply it towards your MCSE: Security? Two for one
deal.


Best,

Do both.

You can use the Sec+ as one of the electives for the
MCSE+S.

You should choose you certification path. If you choose to be certified in
security, have CISSP and work in US you should seriously consider are you
able to get that Security Clearance that is an imperative for most of the
job postings. Else you job choice will be very reduced. I'm from Europe so I
don't know about details in US labor market, but here Security Cert-s. are
still not recognized and respected as they are in the US.

Good point Davor. I have seen the "security clearance" mentioned in a bunch
of postings. I assume that all it is it them checking to make sure you
don't have a criminal record e.t.c...right? similar to if you want to be a
teacher in a high school or elementary school. they need to make sure you
have a clean record.

Or am I missing something?

i already got my 70-227 MCP as elective for the mcse 2k track.

It doesn't look like I can use Security+ in place of the 70-229

but maybe if i wait - that might change.

Probably it is about that, but as I mentioned I am from Europe, so I don't
know the details about the requirements for the "security clearance" or "top
secret clearence" (required for military service), but I surely know that
this is dedicated for US citizens only, and no foreigner can take that. So
if you are not US citizen you can not apply for jobs in US, with such
requirements.
