Not sure why you would need a PMP these days. Most organizations don’t really see the value in it anymore. Especially tech. You should think about technology related certifications for PMs. Ideally Agile certs would give you an edge

Thank you for the advice. I do know PMP has many agile courses and though my current job doesn’t require or prefer it - I have seen other jobs in FAANG prefer you have that certificates in the job requirement section

PMI recently released the DASM - I spoke to the founder Scott Ambler. It’s a much more realistic agile approach, with a lot of stuff from an MIS degree program. In addition, many of the skills you will see at tech consulting/IBM type firms - which can work in product management. I did it and think it was ages better than the joke CSM

Thank you for the recommendation! I will be looking into this

I have heard that tech companies don't really value certs much. If anything try getting agile cert like PSM1 over PMP.

For PGM roles they do more behavioural interviews.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
