a PhD in Chemistry or Physics is of value to the niche Chemistry/Physics markets. Related PhD's are equivalent. Would think that a PhD in CS is seen as somebody on the academic track, and in ancient times an MS was worth 3-5 years experience for that initial position. A broader academic training, as it were. No clue whether it's still seen that way or whether "what, actually, have you done - show it to me" rules the roost.
