Hi Fishes, I’d like some advice, does a PMP cert hold any weight in HR? Thinking about getting mine and using it as leverage to transition into more of a people programs role managing HR projects. Background: 1 year of recruiting and 2 years of employee engagement, people programs, culture. Previous to that, a few years of project management exp. Thanks!

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday.

Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?
