Are all the small certs like lean sigma 6 worth it or should I just bite the bullet and get my PhD/mba

I always see certs as growth in your existing role or company, whereas a degree is for a compete pivot. I have those certs, I never felt they gave me an edge, but they did check some boxes.

I have a initial call with my company’s corporate VC team, it’s quite a large firm but the VC team is very small, what if anything do I need to know about the corporate VC hiring process? Also if I take the job in the long run what are the exit ops out of corporate VC? Or am I just stuck in that world forever? Any indication of comp would be interesting as well! Also Wouldnthis help or hurt my prospect of making it in PE? Thanks!

I was at a dinner tonight with a Partner, a Counsel, and a mid-level, and literally we had nothing to talk about but work. Like it’s all we do, every waking hour. I really feel like I have no purpose in life right now, and viewing these people as iterations of my future, it doesn’t seem like this is going to change if I stay in BigLaw. On one hand I feel too cowardly to leave BigLaw right now if a recession is occurring. On the other, life is too short for this living purgatory.

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
