I'm looking into getting my CPIM certificate from ASCM. It's $2,145 for the course and the exam. I am a demand planner with 5 years experience and am wondering if it would help in getting better pay, roles, etc. However one thing to note is that in my demand planning roles, I have only ever worked in Excel. I've never used an ERP and I think it stopped me from getting other jobs. Do you think this certification is worth it?

Absoulutly! Taking initative to advance your career is great. Don’t let being in one are and not having that skill stop you. Im in a Business Analytics professional certification course. Worth the $
In the mean time look at beginner course that’s offered free. Just to give you an idea. Good luck!!

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?
