Any tips to prep and pass PMP in one shot other than buying the book and reading every page of that?

Get sample exams with answers. Study the answers for what you got wrong. When you can get 85-90 on the practice tests go sit for the exam. Took me ~2 weeks to get to that point and passed the exam with some room to spare

^^ any resource to buy the sample exams and practice tests?

Reiterating the above; Prepcast Simulator and the official PMI PMP practice exam helped me more than any other resource.

Obviously, reading the answers and mapping it back to a prior project made it that much more easer.

When you score at least 70 on a practice exam without having seen the questions you should be ready (prepcast).

The pmi practice exam is tough but 60 and above is fine.

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
