Depends on what you want to be.
It's useful in program/ project management. If you want to go into senior business leadership roles it'll help.

Just to be very clear...if you have been in a project or program management role for 3to5 years already..you will gain absolutely nothing from the cert besides the letters, which is fine especially if clients are looking for that, but overall a pmp is a big *meh*

It’s really useful for government clients, if that helps at all

Helpful for your current role ? Probably not. Some clients like to see it if your planning to exit into certain roles.
