I would like to get your thoughts on which professional level certification to pursue. The MCSE, CCNP, or CCSP? I realize this is sort of a broad question, but here is my situation below.
I am employed as a Network Engineer by a major MSO and I have lots of experience with Cisco (i.e. GSR12000, 6509, etc.). You name the type of Cisco device and I guarantee you I have put my hands on it.
I currently hold a CCNA & CCDA and I would like to get a professional level certification, but here is my dilemma. In my geographical area (Louisiana), jobs that require Cisco experience or slim-to-none. The majority of the jobs in Louisiana require you to have an MCSE b/c they are almost all Client/Server type environments.
My company is very unpredictable and my job is unstable. Corporate Executives send down the order to chop jobs about once every 3 months, so it is just a matter of time for me.
Which cert do you think would be most valuable to an employer in your area? Any advice and/or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
