I never got the cert. I think the education is helpful but in my experience most companies that want PMPs aren’t willing to boost compensation for the specialization. So if you’re doing it for the money, unless you’re gunning for positions at Cisco or Microsoft then it isn’t quite worth it.

I just hear everyone obsessed with rankings but tbh in 10 years, outside say Harvard, they will have changed. My Alma mater undergrad was a top 20 school that has fallen for example.

Other schools that I didn't even consider have risen up.

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.
