After getting my PMP, I thought I would have more opportunities open up for me but that hasn’t been the case. Had anyone had this experience?

Okay thanks for your reply

PMP is a great program and really helps to highlight how everything in a project is connected. That said, you never use all those things.

No one in consulting cares about PMP short of federal staff aug projects that require it.

It can help with opportunities by enabling you to understand projects better and communicate at a higher level, but certs don’t provide opportunities alone, it’s what you do that allows you to take advantage of opportunities.

Okay thank you for your response

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
