How useful is PMP certification, both from a personal benefit POV and a “visibility” or “prestige/competence” POV? I am considering it because 1) I’m young (25) but a top performer. I feel like it’s a mitigation for me being perceived as “too young” to take on leadership roles. 2) I am naturally analytical so technical parts of the job come natural, but due to lack of formal education surrounding project mgt I think it would give me a useful foundation to lean on as I start to lead projects.

Quick Question - Which one do you prefer?
1) Stay in the company where you are not liking the work culture (Skills not getting used & MicroManagement is poor) but offering Onsite and will try to match offer in hand package.
OR
2) Keep looking for a change to explore better opportunities (May be not onsite).

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
