Hi everyone, is getting a PMP (project management professional certification) helpful in civil engineering? And if so would getting it as an El be worth it if I've already passed the PE exam? And would any professional transportation certification be helpful to a roadway design engineer?

It would give you an edge if you had to interview. All of our Program Manager employees are required to have PMP certifications

It can only help if you want a track in some kind of management

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
