Too late, but can set you up well for a nice year end raise if your performance is also good.
If you’re asking this, you probably shouldn’t ask for that salary bump. No offense, but this question + your reaction = junior consultant. Not a good move for you. Appreciate your new job. You know why it’s not a big deal? We’re all project managers to varying degrees and a lot of times our clients can’t tell the difference. client’s don’t care, we don’t care.
Doing a market salary adjustment your first week into the job is likely a bad idea. Prove yourself, do killer work, pair that with your newly acquired PMP to secure a solid raise
Sorry that seems very far off the chart. 1) the PMP is not worth a higher salary and 2) renegotiating when you start is bad manners and a bad idea
I agree with your second statement but you're definitely wrong about your first statement. That's absolutely false! Do some research buddy
What are you saying?! Certified PMP earn 20% more than noncertified! Do your research
Lol true
Only good thing in this post is "Switch of OPs Designation" . ASRC Federal OP to Booz Allen OP"
Can I request for market adjustment lol?
20-25% increase
That’s good enough
PMP is meaningless in consulting. Many groups in K even removed it from list of approved certifications.
There will be a riot at a suggestion that a PMP should be paid higher for being a PMP given how easy it is to be one compared to getting a AWS or Cloudera cert and given how many have masters or MBA already.
Did you say PMP is easy?
Can you please tell me a couple of places where I can get the dumps? TIA!
I have AWS cert and I found that easier than PMP
Have you ever taken the exam? If no, then how do you know it is easy? Your assumption is easy because a lot of people have it? Makes no sense! I would suggest you ask those who have had direct experience rather than assuming otherwise.
The 200 questions aren't the same as the practice exams/ dumps etc. The experience is entirely different when you're sitting in the exam room for 4 hours. Not everyone is built to focus steadily for that amount of time!
CSM is a joke. I would rather do PMI ACP
Maybe a lot of people has it because they see the essence of being certified. Why waste your time on something if it isn't beneficial. If I may ask, what certifications do you have? Clearly, you probably have the best cert out there, right?
FYI PMP is listed as one of the top 5 IT certificates in the world. Don't underestimate or downgrade the cert.
It's all good
I don't need your sympathy. People speak about things they don't know. It's just doesn't add up!
OP, how much experience do you have? That matters way more than a very easy cert that anyone who’s ever managed a single complex project can obtain. Project management is common sense. Nothing more, nothing less. You don’t need a cert to do it and you should stop arguing with everyone on here. We don’t agree with your assertion that you should get paid more. End of argument. Why do you keep saying that the people on here don’t know what they’re talking about?
Many of us have CFA or FRM and often both which are much harder but we don’t go about asking for pointless compensation adjustments “minutes after” passing.
Everyone is saying "no". My qq is, was this a condition of your employment? If so, then you have negotiation room. If "No" then you have some room to ask for a market adjustment. You need to make the business case as to how it will positively impact BAH credibility and the client. You may receive a flat "No" or you may need to wait a year for the benefit to kick in. It is all about finesse and timing. I would look at glass door and payroll.com to see what the salary differential would be for the employment market you are in. Good luck!
