It's honestly not something that's really needed. Most in project management don't have a PMP and that's across all industries. I find most companies that request it don't actually know why they want their PMs to have it, lol.

I had it. I found it easy, studying for the test wasn’t hard, it was one more certification I could add. I eventually lost it because I didn’t keep my PDU (continuing education) hours.

Is there such a thing as getting promoted TOO quickly? Just got the bump to AS after 10 months as an AE. Not at all typical at my agency (usually 5 to 8 YOE). I picked up a lot of opportunity after turnover last year. I am, of course, thrilled, but do wonder if it'd put the validity of my agency in question when looking at my resume. Am I crazy? I'm probably crazy.

Existing employees with 20 years exp working on presales consulting, winning millions of dollars of projects in RFPs, delivering multi million dollar assignments are still not getting promoted and paid in peanuts

Makes me wonder if companies are really enjoying so called great resignation period. What's the thought ?
