I actually view it as a detriment. Look what happened to GE, the company which brought six sigma to fame in the 90’s. They gutted the business for immediate cost savings and have been playing catch up for the past 25 years

For federal yes. For commercial probably not.

Surprised at these answers - several people on my team have a black belt, several are pursuing. We do process improvement work almost every month. Would definitely improve comp for a new hire

Somebody above mentioned federal as a yes but otherwise no. Might apply to BAH?

My buddy has an mba from a top 10 plus the SSMBB and he is currently unemployed - so zero.

I think it’s one of those things that can help with internal promotion/recognition because it demonstrates career development learning. As a line item on a resume… relatively worthless

Depends on what you are doing. Very useful in manufacturing-but really better at the black belt level compared to green belt. If you are moving into industry for a high volume manufacturer, people love it and sometimes it's a requirement.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same. I want to group by the same data in column A, and the number of rows that are the same could vary. So let’s say row 1& 2 same entry in column A(blue) row 3 different (white) row 4,5,6 same as each other different to other rows (blue) etc… help 🙏
