PMP is much more familiar to people outside of consulting. Very few outside of consulting will know what a CAPM cert is.

I haven’t thought about that, thank you.

Did you take CAPM in your early career? I’m currently 2 years into full time working, considering if I should wait to be qualified for a PMP instead

Does PMP help your career progression? I only see government clients care about it.

It's not uncommon for there to be requirements to have personnel qualified to work on specific contracts. Cybersecurity personnel who work under the Navy, for example, fall under CSWF requirements and must maintain some level of qualification and continuing ed for their designated contract role. PMP is similar for project managers, but it'd all be dependent on what's being asked.

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
