Is the PMP certification as worth it as it used to be? Been working in consulting for 4 years and I’m looking to advance my career in the project management side of things. Been doing cloud certifications so far and was wondering if the PMP cert would add to my resume. I see myself growing into a product management role in the future and wondering if this would help.

If you’re in GPS it can come in handy on proposals—some lcats ask for certifications or PMP specifically

It doesn’t hurt. It will certainly help if long goal is to go into product or program management

I hold the pmp cert currently.. it wont help at all with product management.

It definitely does not hold a lot of value in current market as it did a few years ago.. csm or agile certifications are a better bet

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
