Does having a PMP certification hold any water in digital media? Do folks care? I’ve been using PMI resources to help solve problems / improve stuff at my org, and I’m tempted to get the full cert but I’m not sure if it’d actually mean anything / have a meaningful impact on my career or pay.

It’s not a huge investment in time or money but if it doesn’t have much of an impact I’d rather just keep reading free resources online on my own time

In my particular case, the MBA would be mostly free via tuition reimbursement. The downside is that it is not as “prestigious” (Top 40). Other people’s feedback is similar about the benefits but if there’s no significant monetary cost do you think it’s still worth the time commitment?
