Hi everyone,
What are your thoughts on the necessity / relevance of holding a PMP or Prince 1 and 2 certificates for Marketing Project Managers working on campaigns (using waterfall mainly)? The requirement keeps piping up on job specs even for mid weight PMs.
Thanks

Helpful, yes. Necessary, no - in fact, can generate more problems than it solves.

Help me ask for a raise in my upcoming performance review? In sum, my company’s HQ is in Texas and I feel I’m being paid a Texas wage when I live in Los Angeles (the role is remote). We do have a San Francisco office and I want to ask my boss to match me what staff are making there. As that’s more comparable. Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise
