I’m struggling to transition out of consulting. Is a PMP worth it and would that improve my chances? Trying to just get a normal project management role for stable hours that still pays decent. At this point fine with a minor pay cut just burnt out. TIA

I pass right over resumes with PMP listed as if they’re doctorate titles. PMP is a memorization accomplishment masquerading as experience. Only certain types of people get PMP and they’re not the people you want on your team

For some reason I take D2 as someone who wasn’t able to pass the PMP exam. People with PMPs are required to have a minimum level of project management or project experience. It’s not a certification just anyone can get.

Will only increase your chances, relatively easy (for consultants) from what I have seen.

PMP is super easy. Just do it. Doesn’t hurt and requires little to no effort

Many hospitals/health care systems require (or least prefer) PMP on your resume. Shows you had the experience + creds to be an official PM
