You're chances are fairly good, considering you have prior experience.
The certs get you through the door with the HR dept.
And justify your wage a little more with the management.
But as long as your background is cool,
then you should have no problem.
However, there is no guarantee either way.
Whether you had the certs or not.
I've been doing this for years, have gotten pretty high on the scale and I don't have one cert under my belt.
I'm getting one now, but I have the time & money, and it's just to help increase my pay when I get a new job. They finally have slowed down on the new versions to justify a cert that will stay legit for awhile.
Go for it, but don't put all your eggs in one basket,
apply at other places at the same time.
