Anyone find it worthwhile to get the PMP? Any benefits in terms of new job or project opportunities, compensation, promotion potential, etc.?

I meant thinking about the time ROI for the longer term. So, yeah, if you enjoy government work then go for it...

funny

It’s good for govt stuff if that’s what you enjoy. If you ever want to do non-govt work it’s not really valued. I wouldn’t waste your time unless you’re super dedicated to federal consulting

Thanks for the reply--for context, I currently work in Federal consulting and envision myself here at least another couple of years.

There are contracts that require the PM to have a PMP

I have a PMP. Didn’t really do much for my career, but it is useful for government contracts like others have said
