It really depends. I've been with three companies since I graduated in 1995. Two don't/didn't care at all about certs and one did. The one that did was a consulting company. Also keep in mind, if you get the MS cert and interview with a Java shop, they likely won't care about the MS cert...and vice versa. I guess the safe bet is that if you can afford to get the certs, it couldn't hurt to have them.
