I think it depends on your career track. 

If you intend being a network admin for a normal company then common certifications help. If you want to work with a network company it matters much less.

However, overseas, if you don't have a reputation, then certification will help.

Hi all,

As an all-purpose leading network bod for my company, what���s a good certification strategy? I deal with a wide range of stuff from local LANs to international backbones, and it���s high time I got myself a piece of paper to ���prove��� that I know some stuff.

Is CCNA still a good starting point?
