I’m feeling stagnant in my career and looking for ways to grow. I was considering obtaining a PMP certification and wondering how impactful this is. Is this certification well recognized?

Go for it! PMP Certificationnot only opens door to excellent opportunities but can also enhance your project management skills. Not to mention it being glibally accepted.

I didn’t see pmp much in the insurance industry but I think if you have the motivation to get it, you should. It’s very well recognized outside.

Definitely go for it OP and make sure the startup covers the cost haha

I recommend looking into one of the Agile Project Manager certs instead of straight pmp. Having knowledge of agile will make you more relevant for other positions

I have not heard of that. I will have to look it up. Thank you for sharing.

It will have a significant impact. Even if you think you aren't going to use a certification now, you can always use it to meet some job requirements from a different job if your current company does not adapt to your needs.

Definitely. It's very helpful as well if you want to further your career in management. But you can't really rely on the PMP certification alone. You need to show them your skills too. That matters the most.

Agile or green belt (six sigma)
