70-293 or Linux Cert?

Big Jizay

I just passed the 70-291 and became MCSA. I am at a crossroad right now on which cert to go after next. I could go after the 293, because the 291 and 293 have a lot of overlap, and the info from 291 is fresh in my head. Also, I could go for a Linux cert instead. Linux is used a lot at my present job. I could hold off on studying for Linux for a couple of months if need be. What do you guys suggest? If you believe that I should pursue a Linux cert, which one should I go after?

Do 293. You'll regret having to go back to it after a break. If you're wanting to do something else and are waiting for a good point to take a break, waiting until after 293 would be best.

That's true. I don't want to forget what I learned about for the 291. So I'll study for the 293 since the 291 info is still fresh in my mind.
