Can I take the PMP even if I don’t have 3 years of management experience and just be a “PMP associate” or something until I have those 3 years (like how you can take the CISSP before you get the experience and be a CISSP Associate)?

I disagree. I think it has helped me get many roles. In GPS especially, some clients/projects require it, so if you dont have it, you can’t join the project. I’ve also found it helpful getting a job externally because many JDs require it as well and if they don’t it’s at the top of the nice to have.

That’s what the CAPM is for

Agreed

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
