I’ve been in the healthcare industry for over 20 years, and have been in management for several years in that field (though not currently in management). I’ve been with an insurance company for almost 10 years in various capacities and ready to make a change - more than likely leaving the organization. Is it worth getting a PMP certification? I have my BA.

I mean- it’s $400 for the test and pretty easy. Is it useful- personally I don’t think so. However, it’s oddly recognized and in some sectors almost required.

I agree with Scientist. Also look into Agile certifications like Product Owner or Product Management.

It won't hurt, that's for sure. If you want to be a top candidate for new positions, it's great to make sure you have the certifications that companies are looking for. PMP is a great one to have.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
