Nope

PMPs are extremely valuable in the government. My friend jumped almost 30k just for having it. Most pm roles are requiring it now. It depends on what you're looking to do.

Exactly gov’t

Any tips on how to get into product management? I'm a data scientist/ engineer with 5yr workex. Of late I've been trying to take up PM tasks like project ideation, strategy &roadmap. Need mentorship to enhance my skills and profile to be more fit for tech PM roles. Can anyone pl help?

Side Note: I never thought too much about money - i make~95k in a tier 2 city and feel like I probably should work towards earning more, after seeing the 200-300k+ salaries that people r making, to plan for future
