Currently working on MCSE Messaging, I passed MCSA windows server 2012 a couple of months ago so I just need 2 more exams to get the MCSE.
Hopefully will pass the first of these two early on in 2016 then the other by September. Then either take a break or upgrade my MCSA to 2016 (depending on when the exams are released/what material I can find on it)
Got my first exam passed already, passed 70-341 yesterday the first MCSE messaging exam. 1 more to go then I have my target!

MCSA Server 2012: Have 74-409 option already, and my 70-411 re-write Feb. 2 so I feel like I'm halfway
Also, a really cool looking job came up in my company yesterday for server admin, but they want SharePoint and/or Lync certifications, and that's the second type of job like that in the last 6 months with similar requirements, so if the 70-410 goes well I will probably delve into that:study: Office 365 70-347 / 698 later -

You have probably done the sensible thing by doing 74-409 instead of 70-412 if you aren't wanting to get the server infrastructure MCSE, 70-412 was really tough and took me 3 attempts and 8 months to pass! ... Good luck with passing 70-411 on your second go!
Once you get your MCSA, if you say you are working towards either of the MCSE's you mentioned this might help you. The job I have now, I got it because I had almost finished my MCSA, so if they see you are working towards it they might take it into consideration -

Thinking of adding CCSP (from ISC2) in here... My manager was talking about this cert and how our company is planning on moving some things to "the cloud"[h=1][/h] -

Altering my goals for the year. Originally I was pushing for the CCNP, but since we are more of a Juniper shop I am shifting my focus. I intend to come back to the CCNP, but my NA doesn't expire until 2018 so I feel like I have plenty of time. My current plan is Security+. JNCIS-SEC, then see where I am at in the year. I don't think I have enough experience yet to shoot for the CASP. After the JNCIS I may go back to Cisco or study (but not take) for the wireshark exam since we run a lot of packet captures here. -

Change of plans! I will keep the CCNP:R&S, but instead further my MCSA to an MCSE. I will also try to get the VMware delta exam in there, probably towards the end of 2016.
lol. I made this when I accepted my first job offer. I've since switched and my focus will be on network engineering/firewalls and some Linux. So I've changed according to my sig.2017 Goals: []PCNSE7 []CCNP:Security []CCNP:R&S []LCDE []WCNA -

You guys amazed me! With my busy life as it is, I'll just put down only one cert goal for 2016 as I can't find justification to do more: RHCSA -

Passing the CCIE was obviously the main goal, and somewhat at a loss since passing that, as everything else seems to pale in comparison. But I still have to get two more certs this year for my annual goals, no matter how much work CCIE was. So I'm thinking Security+ and MCSA 2012, and then use my free test pass at Cisco live to make a second attempt at CCDA -
