Fam, asking for a friend who'll soon graduate: What's the value in doing a course like PMP or scrum certification? Which of the 2 is more useful as a desired skill set for consulting? TIA

You won't get PMP without valid experience. Scrum is completely different from an Agile standpoint. These certifications are not worth it unless someone else is paying for it and you plan on specializing in this domain. I have both and I specialize in it.
