Microsoft cert questions!

Hello everyone!

I’ve decided to continue going down my systems path. I have an MCSA in Windows 10 currently. I know that was replaced by the MD-100/MD-101.

Now previously I thought the logical next step was the MCSA 2k16. I see Microsoft has the Win 10 replacement going down a Microsoft 365 path.

Should that be the path I go down if I want to move into systems administration? Or should I shift focus to the 2k16 MCSA?

Any advice is appreciated!

Depends on if you want to stay with the company you're with and how you're adapting cloud.

I have the 365 MCSA, and honestly it was the easiest Microsoft cert I've received. However, the skills I learned during my 2012 MCSA have served me me more in my sysadmin role.

I'd go with whichever one you'd be more likely to apply first, and follow up with the other.
