Move from MCSE?

in MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 General
I have completed 70-270, 70-290 and 80% prepped for 70-291.

I was wondering if there is any point continuing towards MCSA/MCSE 2003 or if I should move on to Windows Server 2008 exams?

I thought for a while it would be nice to have MCSE 2003 and an upgrade to MCITP 2008, but now I am not sure if it is worth the extra work?

I would be very grateful for any tips and advice.

Thanks,

MrX

    Go ahead and at least finish MCSA, you're so close.

    If it were me doing it over again, I'd still be learning 2003 fundamentals. Most of the real world is largely using 2003 and you'd be supporting it for quite a while, and perhaps gradually upgrade stuff to 2008.
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    I'd take it a step farther and say finish your MCSE. It's only two more exams since you'll only need to take one upgrade exam instead of two.

    Thank you both for your advice. I will get back to 70-291!
