Looking to exit into project management. Is the PMP or the PMI-ACP certification more relevant for hiring managers in industry? It seems that the PMP is more commonly listed in job descriptions as a prerequisite, but more orgs are shifting to Agile. Thoughts?

Depends on industry and function. I hear PMP is most prevalent in Federal consulting; if you’re doing most sorts of digital or platform implementation, Agile is much more prevalent and useful.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
