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!!

I’ve worked at the same firm for almost 5 years. I’ve received an end of year bonus of varying sizes- my first year, my paycheck was doubled. The last 3 years, I’ve received 25k-30k bonuses. This year I received a bonus in April (20k) and one in July (15k) but I still expected an end of year bonus. I didn’t get it even though this has been my most profitable year yet. Should I just assume those earlier bonuses were INSTEAD of an end of year bonus or should I ask my boss?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
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.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
