Do you want to be a PM?

What jobs/companies are you looking at?

Looking for Program Management and Product Management roles, targeting FAANG primarily

I’d personally do SAFe over PMP.

In my experience the only industry that seems to push PMP is government.

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
