Hi has anyone gone through the disputes process with PMI/Pearson for the PMP exam?

What are you all doing to upskill as the geniuses in AI development fast track our demise? Any plans? I constantly fantasize about going back to school and going down a comp sci path maybe even PhD

any insight into how a pmm skillset is different from a brand strategist one? of course the pmm applies insights to and influences the product, but it seems like a lot of the core elements - research, understanding the user, generating insights, developing messaging and angles to speak to them, etc are super similar. interested in transitioning and I want to understand where my gaps are!
