Looking for career opportunities in SAS world

[pragatim1992]

Thank you for allowing me to join this community.

I am Base SAS 9 certified and I would like to do Advanced SAS 9 certification too but before doing that I would like to understand the career opportunities on this industry. I have extensive 5+ years of experience in Life science/Pharma domain, and I have good analytical skills. Can anyone help me to understand how much efficient it would be to switch and walk on this path and get into SAS world? 

Thanks in advance

Honestly, work experience will convey your skills better than the certification. 

You're also more likely to get better results by doing a SAS paper or some case studies online. 

You can access and use SAS UE and/or SAS OnDemand for Academics (Independent Learner option) for this purpose for free. 

It's a lot more powerful if you can show people what you can do directly.
