Anyone here taken the CAPM or PMP exam? How’s it compare to SFDC certs? I have the basic admin and BA certs and studied like a month combined

I have SF admin and PMP. The SF Admin was a walk in the park. The PMP is brutal, you won’t be ready in one month unless you’re planning to study full time. The PMP is all about knowing what the PMI considers is the best answer. Idea being multiple answers are correct but there’s one answer that’s best. The questions are very tricky. The PMBOK is more dry than the Sahara. Not trying to discourage but be aware of the complexity. Pay for practice exams and master those so that you can familiarize yourself with how PMI structures the questions and answers.

I found it to be the complete opposite. I took the pmp passed with flying colors. Took Salesforce admin twice. Failed both times. Thinking about taking it again but idk I’m stressed out

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
