Perhaps those who have passed one or two or even gained MCDBA certificate could confirm that having these qualifications really does help you in gaining a job, or better job or higher pay in the job market.

Hi,

I have two MCPs (228,229) and am still searching for my foot-in-the-door opportunity, so I can't say from personal experience that it has helped me.

Some people might say that it doesn't help, and it may be that most employers are looking for someone with experience.

However, there are some employers who see MCPs as proof of your committment to your future and to your chosen career path. It is you saying, "Hey, this is what I want and I am committed to achieving my goal of becoming an MCDBA"

Another way to look at it is, if it came down to you and me, both with no experience, but me with two MCPs, who do you think they'd favour?

Best of luck with your study.

If you have experience and/or a degree, an MCDBA would likely improve your standing when applying at a Microsoft shop.
