I’m thinking of getting PMP certification. Wanted get folks insights on how helpful it is for your career growth. Currently senior BA but play PM role as needed. Worked as service delivery manager and work stream lead at previous jobs.

Still the gold standard for some older clients who specifically want PMP. Good to have in your pocket.

If your employer pay for it, do it. Otherwise it’s not much of a factor anymore.

State and federal government incentivize for a PMP but commercial entities generally don't. Of course, there are always exceptions. I wouldn't bother doing it for the educational value either.

Good to have. Vocabulary is good to know. Will do nothing for you other than for RFPs or some such thing that require specific quals for staff.

It’s definitely not useless but I don’t know if it’s as in demand as it is when I first got it in 2019. A lot of the roles that I see now are catered to product management as opposed to project management. It’s still nice to add to the resume and gives you at least some validity.

Its not helpful, nobody will view you anymore valuable than the next person without it. I have one and it doesn’t matter

It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
