I read the posts about "MCSE certification becoming a joke" with interest, and I would like to know what people think of the MCSD cert.
I am an MCSD so of course I may be somewhat biased, but I also took all the NT 4 exams and I found that the MCSD exams required a wider understanding and really needed you to have quite some hands on experience - while the NT 4 exams that I took were more amenable to "swotting" and memorising answers.
In my experience, employers respect the MCSD certification, as it proves that they are hiring someone with a certain level of capability in programming.
What do you think?! Cassie@ExamsAreEasy.com

OK, now that you have experience in a multi-national pharmaceutical firm (Glaxo-Smith-Kline), that will be good to put on your resume (CV) to send to the other international pharma companies. They may have more opportunities for you.

I'm surprised that they say they don't have any opportunities for you. GSK is big enough to have many programming opportunities. Their US corporate headquarters is about 20 miles from where I'm sitting (Research Triangle Park near Raleigh, North Carolina). Go to the corporate web site and search on job opportunities -- I found 30 IT jobs in the US. Find one you think you'll be a good "fit" for, and apply for it. You never know, they might move you. If anything, you might get a free trip to the US for an interview.
