Absolute facts, It was brutal that’s for sure!
I took a Udemy class for my CAPM and pretty much memorized all the ITTOs and processes in the PMBOK, so that helped immensely. I only studied three weeks for my PMP, but I attribute the quick studying due to way over prepping for my CAPM

I used a Udemy course that I bought for $20. There are a few of them out there. Pick the one that matches your learning style the best and use that one. Then I advise taking 3 practice exams, each time seeing what questions you got wrong and studying the heck out of those subjects that you find you are weak on. I did buy the PMBOK for studying and referenced it a few times.

Good luck!

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
