Certification

Is there a certification or course you would reccomend to someone? I am in Life Science consulting - do some PM work, a bit of strategy work. Not looking to get a PMP however for fear of being pigeonholed on PM-only work. Company training budget is underutilized so I would have a decent shot of not paying.

What does EY typical offers look like for a senior consultant at the Federal Transformation Strategy and Initiatives? Base pay, semi or/& annual bonuses, sign on bonuses/pto/benefits/etc??? I’ve about 3-4 YOE in fed and overall 6-7yrs of professional experience, PMP certified and TS clearance

Too late to apply for and take the current pmp exam? Test changes end of year. Only 2 hours of the 35 hour prep class and the application left

I just passed the PMP. Really easy exam, just took a long time to read and answer all the questions carefully. I feel like anyone with PM experience could pass it with 2 week of studying (or less).

Why is this such a valued certification? My grandma could pass it.

I just hit 90K after with a little less then 2 yoe. Is the MBA worth going Fall 2022 or just get certified as a PMP

Hi guys - I saw a job posting in the Toronto area for a sales force process excellence manager which seemed interesting. My role right now is a project manager in the investment and pension industry, with a background in consulting, app an tech support and process automation. I’ve just completed a full implementation of workday and have other SaaS ERP experience. My academic experience is more MIS (business process/strategy/ERP) and hold a PMP, ITIL and CSM. Would this role be a possibility?

Hello, I am currently looking to leave EY. I have a side business which takes up all my free time. I have 7 years of experience, MBA, CISA, PMP and would like to move to a company where I’m strictly working 40hrs ( or less 🙃) so I can focus on my side business. Currently in the DC AREA so looking to make above $150k Any recommendations? (Great maternity benefits would be a plus!)

After my 10 year relationship ended this Sunday, I have completed a full week of workouts, done yoga every day, bought some new clothes, and got my PMP today!

Hope this is inspirational. What will you do to overcome your tough spot?

Hi everyone - what certification do you think is most valuable for someone in healthcare consulting looking to transition into an integrated healthcare delivery system environment.

Any ideas of where to get free PMP tests or sample questions? I’ve been using the velociteach testing lab but I think I’ve gone through all their questions

How mature is Deloitte's cyber risk practice in terms of technical expertise? are most projects technical? do most consultants have a tech background? I've heard that most projects are just PMP, risk assessments, compliance stuff, etc.

Any good book/other resources recommendation for learning agile. Did my PMP 8 years back. Looks like most of the PMO/Program manager jobs require good familiarity with agile concepts. Any insights will be greatly appreciated

PMP certification- do the projects you lead as a SA while playing a manager role count for PMP certification? Do we have to get letter from employer or is there an audit in the process I need to be aware of?

Does anybody got PMP certification in last one month, if yes then please explain the process

Curious if anyone would like to connect virtually to study for the PMP exam?

Ok so I’m starting to study for the PMP. With the new version coming out January 2nd should I try to cram to take the current version by then? Or just take the new version in January? I just started studying....

Anyone here exited to Project Management in industry? Do you like it? Why or why not? I'm seriously considering a position with a dream company of mine as a PM. I just got accepted to sit for the PMP too....

Increasingly see PMP certification as a preferred qualification in job postings.

Have been trying to get out of Consulting for over an year now (3rd yr M, 10 yrs exp). Should I get certified ?

I am a project/program manager type with strategy and implementations exp, mostly in healthcare. I am interviewing for a solution architect role on Monday. Does this even make sense? I have an MBA and PMP.

The program manager role has been filled, but the recruiter insists I interview for a senior SA role. Should I pass? Don’t want to embarrass myself for lacking tech skills.

Is a CAPM worth the trouble? Or should I just wait until I’m qualified enough to get do the PMP?

One of my BPR teammates is going to start rapping under the name “Lil PMP.”

Recommendations for best virtual PMP bootcamp? Please and thank you!

Is the PMP certification as worth it as it used to be? Been working in consulting for 4 years and I’m looking to advance my career in the project management side of things. Been doing cloud certifications so far and was wondering if the PMP cert would add to my resume. I see myself growing into a product management role in the future and wondering if this would help.

PMP or Six Sigma Green Belt? Firm will pay for both also.

Anyone transition to consulting with a tech background after 35? I’ve got a MIS undergrad degree and have been working in business systems support and PM for the last few years (mostly technical and processes). I’ve got a good role, but strategy consulting has been my calling. I just never had made it into any of the major firms and sometimes sounds it may be better off not being there. Would it be a foolish change? I work in Toronto making over 105k with my PMP with more growth potential.

Is a PMP worth it in Consulting? I’m asking because most of us will get the experience of managing and running projects throughout our careers so I’m wondering is it beneficial to get one if you just plan on climbing the corporate ladder in your firm or is it just for exit opportunities and interviewing?

Anyone here has taken the PMP certification ? Is it worth it over MBA and if you're managing projects in Advisory?
