Does anyone else feel like the PMP is diluted? It feels like everyone in my practice has one (even some associates) but very few people are actually managing projects or even managing workstreams.

I'm aiming to pivot from from a public policy oriented career to a career in finance, focused on sustainability.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

Would an MBA be required to switch from Product Management within LS/biotech to Tech (faang or other b2c)?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

Thank you 😊

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
