Hi fishes, I have 13 years of experience in software industry leading a dev team of 5 members and aspiring to become project manager. Based on my understanding, CSM, PMP are few renowned certifications.

Could anyone in the bowl share/guide on how to transition into a project manager? Do certifications really play a major role during job change?

Appreciate your support!

I think PMP certification would be the best option as per me for transitioning into project management role. PMP certification requires thorough understanding of all the project management concepts and also the exam is completely based on scenarios/case study questions.

I'm entering my final year of law school but am going part time since I work full time as a paralegal. I have been a paralegal for more 10+ years and I want to open my own firm after I pass the bar.

I've worked at a lot of different size firms including a startup with a few attorneys and I was able to help with a lot of the ground work with getting the practice management system in place and still do some of that now at my current firm. Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?

I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
