I’ve rarely met a PMP worth their salt, usually a credential that hides limited skills or experience.

It helps gives credence to your emails like “oh that guy might have a clue” but aside from that fleeting feeling it provides nothing

If you’re joining from the outside it is sometimes a requirement for PMO groups and you can get a massive salary raise with it

Every PM I’ve worked with who puts “PMP” in their email signature has been an absolute garbage PM.

If you’re applying to boomer companies, yes. Otherwise, PMO experience at a known cos luring firm is fine.

But you can add PMP after your name on LinkedIn which is by far the greatest suffix one can have.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
