Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?
Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

I have an ASCM CSCP cert. It’s not all that expensive to maintain. You get 30 or so points for just being members and can read books and articles for additional points.
Sounds good thanks for the reply :)
I have a CPSM and CPSD from ISM. The exams were not terrible but you did have to study. I also had 10+ years of experience so it helped me to pass. Continuing Education is not difficult, just keep track so you can submit it all. If you are Procurement focused, do the CPSM. If you are all supply chain focused, do the CSCP. I am currently studying for the CSCP. Cost for materials, online, and exam was not too bad. I recommended at least 1 cert for supply chain.
I understand where you're coming from here but the recertification is typically far less than the initial requirements - only maybe one course and small quiz to ensure you're updated
Just wanted to get a gauged on commitment outside the exam - ISM for example requires a fee to reapply and you need to earn 60 CEHs (Continuous Education Hours) in 3 years. You can attend webinars, do classes, etc but it doesn’t specify costs in doing those and what qualifies. It’s great if I get certified but if I got to pay hundreds a year just to keep up with the recertification requirements, might not make financial sense for the rest of your career. Doesn’t appear that way tho which is good
