Any consultants interested in the PMP? I’m not a project manager but I’m interested in seeing how it can help me run my projects more efficiently.

The only good thing about a PMP is that it’s a pretty accurate signal if I will like you since I’ve never met anyone I like that has “PMP” in their signature.

Do you work in tech? If yes, can you refer me?
That’s the true test if I’d like you right now 😀

Agreed. Agile may be a better option, but still certainly not needed for consulting.

The PMP is good if you’re trying to get into the federal space, though

This is the real answer. TONS of federal contracts require PMP at certain level, if you’re in the federal space without one you are limiting your options severely

Agreed, a lot of effort for something that won’t add much value to your career unless you really need it for a particular client engagement (Gov for example). It’s an overly bloated for what you’ll ever need day to day.

Whatever you decide -
Good luck!

We basically require it at IBM, which is definitely not a good thing lol

All that being said, I'm a PMP here and it has helped get a few interviews but really not useful at all and wouldn't recommend

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
