I’m a business analyst for a large scale custom system for a client. My goal is to pivot to being a Product Manager in industry. Would a scrum master certification help my resume or should I do an AWS one? Already have other agile certifications

No they really don’t care about certifications as much as changing whatever adjacent experience you have into something more “product sounding”

I can review your resume if you feel like - I do career coaching on the side

What other Agile certs? CSPO?

Oh ok that’s nice to hear. I was assigned to get it for my projects. I interviewed for a Business Analyst position for JP Morgan but the salary was lower than my current one and it was in person NYC so I couldn’t afford it :/

I didnt get any certs. just got my resume redone to emphasize product experience plus networked. i got my role through a friend

Are you still at Accenture?
