Lol study?

funny

I helped write a previous version of the pmp exam and about 50% of the questions came from the pmbok, but as long as you understand the “why” behind the pmbok you can deduce the right answer for the large majority of questions pretty easily.

Is the Agile Practice Guide helpful?

Absolutely!

PM Prepcast. I just kept hitting practice tests until I was consistently scoring well across the domains. I found the format was very similar to the type of questions. Well worth the investment, imho. Passed in a week.

Because I had a bit of PM experience, all I did was Joseph’s udemy crash course, then PMI study hall and prepcast practice tests.

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

Any and all advice appreciated.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
