How does one go about changing career paths. I have been a mainframe professional doing production support for more than 12yrs now, and i am starting to feel redundant. I have been working in the current company since 2015, and i don’t have the same drive that i had when i joined. And i feel mostly under valued and under appreciated more now. I have been trying to get into project management by doing PMP or CSM but i am not sure if i would need a lot of experience, i have exposure.

Hi partners. I’m considering an offer from a key client in my region. I’ve never been on a client engagement with them, but my practice in my region has traditionally done a fair amount of work(contd)
