Did anyone obtain their PMP yet? Do you feel it helped you with landing a new job or progressing in your career?

Yes. Promotion offered 8 months after getting my PMP. Other people (with more time in the company) were definitely passed over for this position because they didn't have it.

Yes, it definitely helps with landing that next job and you can get a nice bump in salary. However, the test is not for the faint at heart, it is a lot to learn the PMI way.

Yes, if you’re serious about a career in project management, I’d recommend taking it. It’ll open career opportunities and help with salary too.
