Considering your YoE, getting the Admin + BA cert would probably be useful, but for you to get properly compensated, you will need to be bringing some sort of expertise to the table, such as a particular industry vertical (pubsec, HLS, manufacturing, etc) Otherwise, your resume is going to be less desirable than, say, someone with Salesforce certs AND experience, plus a few years of functional experience in a specialty, even if they have less overall experience than you.
You will have trouble getting even an entry level Salesforce role, because people will look at that YoE and know you're either A) expensive, or B) temporary, looking for a place to get the experience necessary to get a higher paying gig. Most Salesforce jobs I've seen over the past 2 years, even the senior ones, are looking for someone able and willing to get their hands dirty, whether that's with solving existing implementation problems, or building/designing new things with config or code with a mixed team of folks delivering (on and offshore consultants/staff aug + FTE's). Business units are just not getting budget and headcount for people who are process experts/analysts that can't contribute directly to the implementation, as short-sighted as that may be most of the time.
