I’m a B.com graduate(3years course) from an Indian university and I’ve overall 7 years of experience - 3 years into PMO. Am I eligible to appear for PMP exam or should wait for another 2 years to complete 5years ?
Can someone help me clarify my concern above?

Is the PMP certification worth it?

funnylike

So I just landed my first job as a genuine Project Manager. I’m curious, is it worth it to go and get a PMP, or even a Scrum/Product Owner cert? What kind of salary leverage have you seen with it? For instance, my current salary without the certification is $65,000 USD and that’s in the Chicagoland Area, but the company is out of Iowa.

Hey everyone,

Looking to get feedback on a potential career move(internally at this point)

I’ve been w/ my company for 10 years, & I currently do Market Intelligence. (2 YOE)
I may have the opportunity to be a Project Manager for one of the BUs, & I feel as though the opportunity would further add substance to my resume & round out my professional development. I’m working on getting my MBA, then my PMP.
The Comp Intel Role is ambiguous but more fun, but no growth direction, should I apply?
