I completed ASP.NET 2.0 web development and WPF 3.5 certification. Next I'm planning to do certification in webservices. Which one is best among 529 (distr apps) and 503 (wcf)? Between 2.0 / 3.5 which is best for career growth and jobs?

+1  A: 

I would suggest 503 (WCF) as far as "career growth and jobs" is concerned.

+2  A: 

As someone who conducts interviews, it is being honest to let you know that certifications are only marginally part of consideration. They might help you get in the door for an interview, but it is your skills and knowledge that will be best for career growth and job opportunities.

That being said, between the course material for the 529 and the 503 courses, I have seen more projects (active and proposed) in-house that would benefit from the 503 track - although both would be good to know. My advise is to really learn the material and apply it as much as possible.

Good luck with your next exam, whichever it is!
