Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks
Need help deciding if this offer is worth moving for. Received an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton for an Associate level Sr. Systems Engineer in Los Angeles for $135k base. I countered $150k and a $15k singing bonus and asked if I could be brought on as a lead associate since I've been a lead/manager for a while in my current company.
Current company TC: $125k in Utah.
YOE: 7 with M.S. and MBA
Is the switching cost/risk and higher COL worth it?

If you have your PMP, was it worth it?
I’m in between projects. I have been for a while now. So if anyone is looking for a freelance copy and u/x writer, put me in coach! I’m available to work.
Check out my portfolio and let me know if we’re a good profit match.

Go ahead and do it if you feel like it might help you.
If you're on Facebook, join the group "Professional Project Managers". It's run by Joseph Phillips, who runs a great intro course that qualifies as the contact hours you need to apply for the exam.
I am a confident PM with a ton of experience and went for my PMP after 15+ years doing this for a number of reasons:
- Learning is always important and this is the grandaddy of PM certs, like MD, whether people want to admit it or not. There simply isn't anything comparable. Google cert is definitely worth keeping an eye on, though, but it's not even in the orbit yet of employers asking for it, like CSM, PMP or Six Sigma.
- Lead by example. Keep your skills sharp.
- If you want to mentor, CSM, PMP and the like add legitimacy to your resume.
Will I use everything I learned? No. Am I happy I did it? Hell yes I am.
Feel free to reach out if you want to talk.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your advice!
Depends on the industry you work on, but for digital or advertising in general I would rather spend that time learning agile methodologies
Only reason I did it is my company (I'm in the ad agency world) paid for the whole thing - the training course, the test, everything. If yours will do the same, I say why not.
It's just a bunch of memorization that I don't apply to my day-to-day, but like I say I didn't pay a dime to make myself more marketable.
Agree on that... is like the Girl Scout getting extra badges to keep selling same old cookies

I have no direct knowledge of its value but suggest you look into the new Google PM cert. Relatively inexpensive with a Coursera subscription.
There have been a few discussions here about this recently but my 2 cents is:
- Learn on the job. Firsthand experience is going to be far more valuable
- That said there are some roles where a cert/course makes more sense so just use your head. Don’t get a cert for scrum/agile if you’re working on social media creative.
- imo and based on a few of the convos I’ve had with other millennials in the program management discipline: not a lot of us care about this. Older folks certainly do but we can learn a lot from our peers and from free resources online.
- On they’re prohibitively expensive and hard to get and honestly anything like that is also going the way of the dinosaur imho. For folks that come from a less well off past or don’t have the right resume but are talented, these courses/programs/certifications are hard to pay for or be accepted into. And to me we don’t need anymore of that anywhere in society.
