If you’ve spent any time in projects I imagine you can do well skipping white and yellow. Go straight to green and if needed, get a prep book before the class. But yeah, white and yellow belts are mostly money grabs by the institutions selling the courses

I agree. If u have any project experience, go for green and yes u need to study. But judging by the initial question, I am thinking u don’t have much lss exposure

I didn’t even realize there was a white belt. do not waste ur time on this. If u need something quick do yellow. Otherwise take a class then go for green

But to answer your question I don’t think u would even need to study for white 🤣it’s probably like 5 questions

White belt is useful. Don’t waste your time

Why do you say that?

White < yellow < green < black.

Gold standard is green and black. No one values yellow and white

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
