I'll have my CCNP completed next week upon successful completion of the Support exam. I was planning on working the CCDA/DP track next before eventually working towards CCIE.
I am about to separate from the Military and have been browsing through job postings and noticing significantly more jobs looking for a combination of CCNP and MCSE than I see for just CCNP or CCDP (or both). I am still planning on doing CCDA/DP, but my question is this: for the job market we have today which is the more valuable set of certs to have, CCNP/MCSE or CCNP/CCDP? (emphasize "today's job market" since I am still planning on doing DA/DP down the road), How beneficial is the MCSE towards CCIE? I have to believe that a thorough understanding of the front end stuff like AD, Exchange, DNS, etc is extremely useful for complex networking/infrastructure issues. What I hope to hear from you is whether that knowledge and experience is "required" or just "helpful." Help me out, throw some opinions out here. I appreciate your guidance and help.
