Microsoft certification for .NET Technical Leads

I have spent some good time in analyzing pros and cons of getting a certificate and convinced that advantages of having a certification outweigh the disadvantages.
Having a certificate will indicate that you are interested to learn and improve on your career.Of course, there are chances of getting pay hike if you can show case your certification a right way.

I would suggest the technical leads who are working on .NET to get Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) certification.This certification is valid for 2 years.Microsoft is offering this certification in 5 Microsoft technology categories. 

 They are

1)MCSD: Windows Store Apps

2)MCSD: Web Applications

3)MCSD: SharePoint Applications

4)MCSD: Azure Solutions Architect

5)MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management

Based on our area of expertise, we can select any of the above certifications. To pass MCSD certification, we have to select any 3 exams given under that category.

For example,to get MCSD: Web Applications certification, we have to pass below exams.

 Exam 70-486     ---- Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications

Exam 70-480    ----- Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3
      (or)
