Hello Fishbowl community,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently working as a data analyst at media company and contemplating a shift into project management. I have been exposed to PM duties at my job indirectly and that is something that I enjoy doing more than Data Analyst job. i have no formal degree in PM but taking up coaching to prepare for PMP certification.

If you have experience in project management, I'd love to hear your insights and recommendations. Thanks in advance.

If you haven't worked as PM how can you sit for your PMP? You need 5 years verifiable experience as a PM to sit for the test

No you don’t.

You need:

- A few hundo

- someone to sign off that you’ve done PM type job responsibilities

- Be able bodied.

It may have something to do where I'm at in my career - 15+ years of PM experience & director-level roles at my last 2 companies - so more exec level but not quite C-Suite. Have one-off recruiters hitting me up on LinkedIn about contract PM roles but that's not what I want.
