I’ve been toying with the idea of specializing more as a product manager in fintech, but that might mean more certifications or switching industries entirely. On the personal side, I’d love to carve out more time for hobbies, I barely read for fun anymore. What’s on your radar for career or personal growth in 2025?

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?
