Let me join the thread. I agree that experience counts a lot when administering systems wether its Open Source or M$ system. But in the corporate world they always look on people with actual skills and professional certification from leading industry. And besides there is probationary period in every company even someone is hired as a senior staff. If they find you not fit then you're out
So make sure that you show them the skills that you have then certification will just be decoration to your name. And since IT leading certs are globally recognize it gives you advantage abroad. Here in the Middle East most IT professional are testking certified(Cisco, M$, Linux etc...) and they are highly paid individuals. As long as you comply with the task you were given then your ok When I came here all I have is Linux and M$ experience but these experience alone wont give me chance of a high paying Job. I was introduced to this fast track of getting certified(test king) although i have to invest on exams. And Its worth of a try "as for my experience". Now I enjoy the benefits and luxury of being certified and I am constantly earning skills I need with my daily tasks and bunch of tips from google. cheers!
