Kapil's Advice on Tuesday, March 01, 2011 :
It is very important to understand when joining the company what would you be working on. You are right in searching for the new job. In fact, you should always be in search for better opportunities and keep updating yourself with more advance and new features of the technologies you know.
I would suggest go ahead and search for better job. Survey market and find out which jobs description matches with your existing skills. Further study on those skills and update yourself with new features in those technologies.
MBA as such wont help you in IT career since it is more of management line.
Certification courses are good thing find the area which you are strong in and would like to continue, pursue it and learn and then go ahead for its certification.
Also try to learn other things beside Syntax for better interview perspective:
Coding:
- Object oriented programming
- Technology components of the language (ASP.NET controls, life cycle, ADO.NET control etc. etc.)
- New things of latest .Net Frameworks (EF)
- etc.
Tools:
- IDE Tools for development
- Version Control
- Auto Build/Deploy
- Code checker
- Testing Tools - ACT
- Code Generators - .Net EntityFramework (Model Driven Development)
Process:
- SDLC
- Design (UML, Classes etc.)
- Version control process (chec-in , check-out,)
- Testing
- Security
