Is the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt cert worth anything in the Fed/DoD/IC consulting industry? I’m being offered to take it by my employer, just wondering if it increases growth opportunities and if I’ll actually learn anything useful.

Green belt and above is great!

Absolutely. More relevant than some other types of certain out there. Some employers in the spaces you’re referring to even list a Green Belt as a requirement for positions.

How much does the Green Belt certification cost?

I saw 1400

I earned mine at a Fortune 50 aerospace manufacturer before coming to Deloitte. I would say it has been a sticking point for some opportunities. However, id say the much more valuable piece was what I learned. Being able to leverage statistical and graphical analysis to make objective, informed process improvement decisions is powerful.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
