Do you see a benefit in renewing PMP and Scrum master certifications? I no longer see a need, maybe I am wrong? What do you think?

Just renew them. Your employer should pay. They are great for getting recruiter attention if nothing else, and that's still valuable.

It looks good on proposals. That’s about it.

Isn’t it free to renew?

The decision should be based solely on whether you see value in it, so no don't.

It's free to renew pmp.

Most employers reimburse for the fee so why not?

Keep the PMP - it has value in the market, even if not in consulting. It can’t hurt you to have it.

I keep it, solely because nobody can pay me enough to take the PMP exam again. Plus since the firm pays, there’s no downside.

I’m frustrated as hell with my manager and my career advancement. What makes it worst is, she is a black woman as well.

This experience was all gained without me having my bachelors in Finance and Accounting (I have it now). The rest in the comments…
