I’m not a data scientist, but I’ve seen product managers come from all backgrounds.

What PM skillsets do you lack that you think a certification program will give you?

Probably what I’d be most interested in is the training around agile product development. Honestly, though, I’m wondering if it’s just a helpful line on a resume to help breaking in to a first product manager job.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
