Hi fishes,

I have 2 YOE as project manager. I'm a B.Tech MBA. I have previous sales experience of 4 years. I am thinking of doing a certification.
Please advise if PMP certification from PMI is considered good in the market? Will it be worth the time and money?
Or should I rather go for PMI- Agile or Safe agile certifications ?
My experience is mostly in traditional PM. Are there job opportunities for traditional PM experience?
Any other certification recommendation? Thanks!

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

For those of you who are SHRM CP certified. Can you please advise if the SHRM learning system is worth it? Are there other effective learning tools that are less expensive ?
