Hi All,
To start with, I have been thinking to get this certification (
SCEA)
since 2003. I was very serious at that time, purchased exam
voucher/study guide and started preparing for the first
test. Due to
several reasons, not to mention here, I could not proceed any further.
Now, again I am planning to take this exam - not just for the
certificate but also to gain additional knowledge that might add-up to
my 6 years of software development experience. I am quite lucky this
time, my company will sponsor for all the certification expenses. I
have to still put lots of effort from my end as well to get through
it. I am not sure how much is SCEA certification worth in the current
market. I would really appreciate if any of you can point me to some
kind of research data or statistics on the web showing the advantages
of having SCEA certification. I am a SUN certified developer with 92%
back in 2000. None of the recruiting companies gave any preference for
having this certification at that time. On the other hand Brain Bench
was more popular. Is SCEA certification really worth taking? Will it
really add up to the career growth?
I would really appreciate any additional information that might help
me to take the right step.
Thank you,
Sanchi
