PMP certification: Is there a way around the 35 hours of training/education required to apply for the certificate? I have plenty project management experience and have study materials from someone who took the boot camp so I don’t need or want to sit through a week long course.

Didn’t you take project management classes in college? Those count.

Nope, don’t recall a project management course in my undergrad.

Udemy has a bunch of approved courses that cost less than 100$ and qualify for the 35 hours req.

No way around it, but there are self-paced versions that I think cover it. I think uCertify has an option for about $300 that may work. You should confirm first, though.

What year is it

What year is the review material? My friend took the in-person class in February so it’s current.

Why get a PMP? Honestly it is a dead certificate. Explore newer methods for delivering value.

Definitely worth it if you are in DC area. Got a nice 30% bump in pay to switch to a PM role. The contract required the PM hold a PMP strangely but worked out for me

Is there such a thing as getting promoted TOO quickly? Just got the bump to AS after 10 months as an AE. Not at all typical at my agency (usually 5 to 8 YOE). I picked up a lot of opportunity after turnover last year. I am, of course, thrilled, but do wonder if it'd put the validity of my agency in question when looking at my resume. Am I crazy? I'm probably crazy.
