Anyone here with a PMP (Project Management Professional) cert? I’m studying to earn one. How much does it help with the job search?

I got mine.
I put it on my LinkedIn and since have had at least 5 recruiters reach out (and took a job from one).
Not saying it’s all because of the PMP; I touched up other stuff as well.
But I’d say it’s mostly helped with getting a foot in the door.

I don’t have mine and yet I am routinely contacted on LinkedIn for jobs. None of which I’m highly interested in though, so maybe with the PMP the quality of the outreach will change.

I’m considering other certifications over the PMP as well, like SAFe or CSM.

Or… should I take a small loan?

Have offer from Nagarro Gurgaon. Is it possible to relocate to Bangalore post covid instead of Gurgaon ?

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
