Is 3 years of work experience too young to get the PMP when they technically ask for at least 3 years of "Directing/leading projects"? Or is that requirement broadly interpreted/not really strict?

It’s not 3 years of experience. How broad is your experience. Have you had Atleast 2 full cycle projects ?

If you can prove a leadership role, you’ll be fine, even if not the full project lead. Be prepared to have someone vouch for you though if you get audited.

I applied on the exact 3 year date mark. Got approved right away. As long as you have a few projects under your belt you are fine. My opinion, sooner the better

The hours of experience can come from any of the process groups. You can claim hours that you worked on “executing” projects that you did not direct/manage. Hope that helps!
