How much does MCSA and MCSE worth in job market? Or a Certified Public Accountant worth more? I have a degree in Accounting and Finance. I have passed A+, Net+ and i-Net+ and I am going for MCSA now. I think I should able to get it by Jan 2004. Currently, my job duties include Accounting and IT and I am the only one in IT dept. I do all sorts of IT stuff for the company and I have been working for this company almost 4 yrs. My current pay is like K annually and I am discussing with my boss about promotion next year which I request K annually. Do you think the amount I request is reasonable or below the market price? I am located in Seattle, WA. I am also thinking whether I should go for MCSE or CPA next year. I would like to get some nice certifications in order to get myself into a position that can bargain for better pay. What do you guys think?
