Hi everyone,
I've been a professional developer for about 15 years now but because I've always worked for small companies that don't believe in / don't have money for training I've never acquired any certification. It's time for me to move on to pastures new and I think it would probably help if I could point to a few bits of paper that show I have the skills I claim. The bulk of my experience has been in the
Java EE space but I've also done a bit of Java SE work, in recent years I've started managing projects as much as working on them though. I was thinking that the "Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 6 Enterprise Architect" certification would be the route to go starting with the "Java EE 6 Enterprise Architect Certified Master Exam 1Z0-807" exam. I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't a series of EE7 exams as I've already migrated some of the projects I work on to EE7 so studying for EE6 certification feels like a bit of a backwards step.
I'm also currently studying for the PRINCE2 exam (project management) and will probably sit ITIL afterwards.
Any advice?
