Morning All,
I apologize for the double post with the original being under the general certifications. I could not find a way to move that thread here.
I need some feedback on my next steps in study planning. I have been working in Networking for over 10+ years and that's my main strength. However i have been gradually moving on to projects that both involve networking and server/networking virtualization. The most recent project i completed was on Openstack where i was able to go to Redhat classes and i will be taking the Redhat Openstack administration exam pretty soon. I have a new projects lined up for Microsoft Azure/Hyper-V as well as more Opensatck work that i will start working from the new year.
Now i do not plan to stay with my current employer for long. I would like to get some feedback on what skills (or certs) will add more value to networking experience i have ? I have been out of the job market for over 10 years and not quite sure if Openstack/RHCE will add more value vs Microsoft MCSE. I have multiple CCIEs and VCP , and not so much worried about getting the certs but more on learning skills that i can use day to day.
I know my situation is very specific and may not have a direct answer. I am not sure if there any roles that require someone to know both networking and Linux/Windows at the same time. Nevertheless i thought i would ask anyways.
