I earned my PMP a few weeks back because it felt like the thing I was supposed to do. I'm sort of annoyed I had to shell out the money for the test fee and now all the credits to keep it going forward. Better get me a solid pay jump down the line!

You can get free credits by watching webinars via projectmanagement.com and the PMI sites. You’ll have to pay your yearly membership but not necessarily for credits. Many events/offerings have costs, but there are ways to do it without paying too.

I fully intend to get as much for free as I can. Figure out a system so I'm not scrambling last minute. 😹

Congrats, also… never pay for training / certifications if it also benefits your employer.

Welcome to the elite club!! Got mine some few years ago and just renewed it. Just make sure you report your projects and get your pdu. After 3 years you then renew. It’s just $60.
You will definitely get a pay increase. I promoted within my org and got a very decent increase and I won’t complain cos it’s was so good.. good luck 👍

How much can project managers make?

Absolutely possible to hit $200k and beyond in the right industry, regardless of where you live. Also lots of fully remote PM options - probably one of the original WFH jobs, even pre pandemic.

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.

I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

I loathe Monday morning meetings. We have a monthly team meeting at 8:00am PT and it makes me so mad! 😂 It’s always on a Monday, and I have the hardest time getting motivated for them. Normally I wake up at 6:30am, check the news, stocks, shower, eat breakfast, get dressed and start answering emails at 8am.. no speaking meetings until 10am. However, on the team meeting Monday’s, I’m scrambling to do my morning routine and get setup to present/share my screen.. I hate them. We all hate them lol!
