For anyone that completed their Certified Associate Project Manager (CAPM) certification. How did you prep for the exam? What resources helped you? What steps did you take to complete it? How was the exam?

I’m planning on getting mine this month. I’m a bit confused after reading the guide/handbook yesterday.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder.

Been in consumer insights all my work life (10 years) and considering pivoting to product or product marketing manager roles. Yet I have had some interesting convos for people manager roles in insights recently and wondering if I should maybe refocus my efforts there. I’m looking for a broader mandate than just my immediate pipeline. I have been enjoying insights but grow frustrated by the lack of decision-making power. I rather would want to take a path with high long term career potential.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
