Thank you all for the helpful responses so far. Now a follow-up question:
how heavily should formal education or certifications be weighed in general?
Understanding that having a certification is only one characteristic of some
candidates, which certifications are more meaningful than others? I've seen
people glorify the MCSD certification, but I'm aware of others (e.g, A+).
What does certification really mean (if anything) - in your opinion? What
about a degree in computer science? Looking for opinions.

Thanks You Again!
