When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

Pretty Much Pointless from a PMP
That’s what I was thinking. What about scrum? I’m not in a technical role but I see it often in qualifications for projects and seems relevant?
Scrum is good, just know that without some actual experience in agile, it’s going to be hard get a scrum master role. Use it to augment project/program management experience.
Tbh I don’t disagree A1
No
Thank you everyone for validating my thoughts. I came from the military to Deloitte and have seen it on some preferred qualifications on projects. I initially didn’t think it was worth the trouble so thank you all for replying!
I’m trying to find my “niche” since I’ve only done pmo type stuff on my project
Same here! Any tips on how to find your “niche” ?
Here’s another perspective - it’s “worth” it because it provides the project credibility and helps sell more work if you have certs. There’s was also a post couple days ago saying Deloitte pays you for it (or pays for it) so why wouldn’t you if you’re niche is PMO?
Haha yeah I totally get that people THINK it’s valuable and often include it as preferred. My point is just that anyone who thinks that does not actually understand the value in having it - just find a smart insecure ambitious person and they’ll aggressively deliver for you, regardless of PMP very. Just want to avoid someone getting it and thinking they’re actually going to improve skills from the content.
