For those with a PMP, did it help you significantly when applying to project manager/program manager roles? And how much better is the salary boost? Very curious.

It’s a nice to have, it’s not going to be a driving factor. Maybe if there’s another candidate with the same experience PMP could shift the weight but that’s it. If you’re in the Public Sector it holds a little more weight since some contracts require it for their PMs

Yes - I work in healthcare and life sciences and IT / software implementation

PMP has gotten me interest from recruiters, made me a candidate for interviews. I still had to land the job, but PMP opened doors.

I have been PMP certified for 10 years. First job following PMP certification was $65k / year, I am $150k now - more than doubled.

But it also gave me a framework to use when managing projects. I am more strategic because of the overarching knowledge I gained from the curriculum.

I think the PMP has been helpful for my career. Agree what was said earlier - government contracts are currently often requiring PMPs be part of the team. The PMP helps you qualify for more roles. Right now it’s sort of a trendy credential; not sure for how long that will be the case.

Definitely helped with securing a new role and income to go along with it.

Certifications open doors, actually being able to do what it says and proving it to those with more experience let’s you go through it.

It’s sometimes required for certain roles on government contracts. Probably no salary boost directly. May indirectly help get you one by getting you in to a more managerial role and then you can use that managerial experience to get hired by another company at higher pay.

Probably landed my job. Without it I won’t be able to get the interview

I don’t know about salary but it definitely helps stand out when applying because it’s well known and respected

Its helped me do my job a lot better

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
