Scrum if you’re in tech or fast paced development. But again, employers are aware that these certifications mean nothing if you don’t have applicable experience.

I have both but its worth totally depends on your industry. A PMP takes a bit of effort to get. You have to do an application and study for it (how long depends on how good you study/retain info/take tests and whether or not you do a boot camp. Scrum master is a joke, in the sense that it’s easy to get and relatively no studying to get. I tell everyone you may as well get scrum certified bc it’s a nice to have especially if your company pays for it
