Yes, I do.

Yes, because PwC will pay for it (at least when I worked there) and I bet you have free time.

Government contracts often require this for Manager + LCATS, it will probably not increase your efficacy as a manager though.

May help in obtaining a new job and higher salary.

Anyway, sure do it.

I’ve got mine too and it’s really only worth it if your company pays tbh. Great on federal side, the process honestly sucked and the test was a bitch but the letters are useful. Came in at Accenture at a higher level than I otherwise would have

Go for it

Yes, lots of jobs have it as a requirement. Thus, in these trying times worth having it.

Get agile instead

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
