hello...i'm thinking about getting MS certified. i wanted to start off with the MCAD and move towards the MCSD after. but with the new certifications i don't know if i should do that.
what do you guys think is the best/easiest option?
get the old MCAD/MCSD and upgrade to the new certs, or just get new certs from the start?

Take whatever exams you are capable of passing. Get experience with those you are not. The certifications will fall into place naturally.

Old or New, MCSD is the same. Concepts are the same. Based on your application area, means based the skill what is required in your work, choose one of that. I have completed MCAD recently.

Hello All,
I was just wondering if there was anybody out there (particularly hiring managers or others with a hand in interviewing and hiring) with an opinion on this:
With all else (other qualifications, experience, salary, etc.) being equal, do hiring managers prefer prospective applicants to have an advanced degree (Masters or higher), or a MS Certification in the relative field?
I realize that this is a wide open question, but I'm just looking to get a feel for the general opinions out there.
Just curious,
Paul

If you interviewed 12 of them, you'd probably get 13 different answers. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Do what feels right for you, not what you think others expect of you.

Agreed. I have jsut started a new job (software QA) and it will take a eyar to define the role to my satisfaction. Noone else can really do that for me.

I'm looking for someone to create a compilable, runnable version of mplayer[^] from the source code and codecs that they provide.
Basically, I don't have the patience to do this. The end result should be a complete and accurate set of instructions on how to build the application and a complete snapshot of the directories, tools, etc., properly configured, for building the program. The goal is that with the directory snapshot, I should be able to replicate the build environment on my workstation and with the documentation, build the exe. Actually, the snapshot and documentation should be checked in to a repository on my CVS server.
If you want to submit an hourly bid, email me your hourly rate, estimated billable time and estimated real time to complete, and a brief explanation of why you are qualified to do the work.
If you want to submit a fixed price, email me with your fixed bid, estimated real time to complete, and a brief explanation of why you are qualified to do the work.

Hi there !!
I work for a specialist IT recruitment company in the UK and we currently have a role based in Cambridge for an initial period of 4-6 months - i have attached a summary below :
The position would have the following requirements:
· At least four years of C / C++ development experience
· At least two years of experience writing Windows applications
· Familiarity with network protocols such as IPv4, TCP, and UDP.
· Experience writing socket-level applications.
· Understanding of multi-threaded programming and debugging techniques on Windows
They are looking for a strong software developer to help design and implement automated tests for a distributed network service they're working on.
The client is a world leader and would be an excellent opportunity to work on research type projects.
We unfortunately cannot sponsor work permits but if you are eligible to work in the UK and are interested I would be very interested to hear from you.
All the best

Unless you used to have a different sign on, or were simply lurking, you really shouldn't lie like that. Your bio clearly states you have posted only 2 messages and have been a member since, um, today.
And frankly, if you represent the talent of your company, I would look carefully at working for your outfit. Try "been away for quite a while".
You and others may think I'm being really critical, but your words represent you and your company, and not researching how the site works, obvious BS, and spelling errors in your post really don't speak well for your recruiting agency, regardless of what rewards you guys have won.

Hi Marc,
No that's a fair point - I didn't finish checking before posting.

Hi,
The reason that I am writing this message is that I believe that I am being ripped off.
I have this client who I do a lot of work for, including ASP.net database driven web design, graphic design, printing, computer equipment supplies, and IT maintenance.
This client has 2 retail outlets and an online store.
Back in the beginning when I was new to business I decided that I would charge them AU$35 per hour (approx US$26), today (2 years later) I am still charging the same rate.
Lately I have had trouble getting invoices paid in a decent amount of time, sometimes I will get a pile of 5 or 6 invoices which need paying, meanwhile I am almost out of funds waiting for the money.
I bend over backwards for this client despite now having another major client and a few small jobs. I continue to knock back extra work.
As a result of this I am currently reviewing the rates that my business charges them. Is it possible that some people in a similar situation to me could supply their hourly rates?
I'd especially like to know the rates that Australians are charging, and also I'd love honest answers.
Thanks to anybody who helps me out.

If the client is not paying you now at $26 per hour, what good would it do to raise your rates? My suggestion would be to stop doing any work for this client until they are paid in full. Anything short of this is a losing proposition.

if your only charging USD26 I would double the price at the very least.
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Increase the rate since they don't seem to take you seriously and are not a cost effective or considerate customer. Also I would suggest that putting a time limit on payments or no gurther work is carried out is worth considering.
Sometimes it is hard to say 'No' and some people take advantage of this.
