What Cert Should I Do Next?

I feel like I should focus on another certification, but what!?

Primarily - for my job - I need my NetApp NCDA and NCIE-SAN certificates. And I've checked their expiry status - on here: https://cp.certmetrics.com/netapp/en/login - which means I don't need to worry about them until 2025.
