Suggest doing the job for a side huddle or community service or something. Certifications are a negative signal to me.

Don’t spend your time on a PMP. The CSPO helped me break into a role to prove I knew the basics. I also took a few PM courses on Udemy which helped me with the interviews.

This is great, thanks for your insight!

None. PMP is for program managers.

PMP isn’t necessary for product. CSPO is great. Work more with PMs in your current company too.

Great suggestions above, CSPO helped me as well. Check out Roman Pichlers blogs, Medium and Udemy courses
