I actually did take the pmm core certificate but had no luck getting into pmm jobs :( would you recommend other certifications to increase my chance or join the membership?

I’m in it. I think the most useful thing is being able to network and learn about jobs. Sometimes direct hiring managers are in there posting jobs on their own team. Be active in the group and reach out and meet people and eventually I could imagine you getting connected to a role that might work

Hello Everyone,

Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
