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?

I think it is one of those things (like so many other credentials) that doesn't open up doors, but keeps them from being closed. That is, when they go through the list on your resume it checks a box for them and is a cherry on top of the rest. If you don't have it, the score of your resume goes down. If you do have it, it doesn't go up, but it is still in the game.

Okay yeah that makes sense. Thanks for that point of view!

In my experience it didn’t help me at all. Plus you have to do those PDU’s.

That’s so disappointing

It stopped being valuable about 5 years ago once agile concepts / dev ops started getting really popular

Many government contracts require it if you’re into that sort of work.
