Media planner for 10+ years, now a client relations manager for almost 3 years managing complex projects across marketing, sales, metadata and business operations looking to do a CAPM or PMP certification to help with my job search in marketing project manager type positions. Any advice on the best direction and organizations to do the certification through that's reasonably priced?

Do PMP, CAPM does not have any weight.

They’re all the same price more or less, can you get your work to pay for it?

PMI.org is the gold standard. I recommend the LinkedIn Learning courses to help you prep for the exam. Certification is totally worth the cost.

BTC question.

Less than 3 million BTC left to be mined. What happens to the value of BTC once all 21 million are mined? If it’s not really an efficient payment medium, then is there a max value based on the supply/demand? To clarify, once the supply limit is reached what dictates that btc will continue increasing in value if demand should remain the same (as it’s not a practical payment medium)? Furthermore, is there a way to calculate the approx value of BTC demand once max supply is reached?

I went through a pretty rigorous interview process for a marketing project manager but ultimately wasn't given job.

How do I again the experience if I'm limited by the type of work we do?
