I got a cd prep course that was more engaging than the boring stuff and listened to it for a couple of months worth of my commute (hour plus each way). It’s all about learning the PMI processes and methodology

The streets ain’t ready for that mixtape 🔥🔥

worth it? idk. i haven’t gotten any more $$$ because i have my PMP. my firm paid for it, so it wasn’t at cost to me. i guess it’s better than not having it.

just take the boot camp and keep doing practice tests. honestly you should be fine after 4-5 practice tests.

Same. I don’t think it added much value to be honest. Although every now and then a random colleague will be impressed that I have it.. not sure why though

No value unless you’re top of the food chain in consulting because Partners>Directors>Managers believe they know how to run efficient and effective projects. Plus, “engagements aren’t typical projects.” I’ve heard all the excuses

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
