I have a BS in Info Sys Mgt. I have also recently switched career paths in order to gain experience (which is the second part of my question).
1) Should I be seeking certifications or go back to school for an MBA? Which has more creditability in the real world of IT? Which certifications or languages are needed the most?
2) I am currently an Analyst doing grunt work. Realizing I have to do my time I took a demotion from being a sales supervisor to get my feet wet in the IT field. How much experience are you hiring managers looking for?
