Prince 2 if you're in Europe/UK/Australia, PMP in the US.

That presupposes that you're in an industry where those sorts of certifications matter at all.

Just do what interests you. Not sure anything on its own makes you a more appealing candidate or increases your comp, all it shows is dedication and interest.

For example, if you do strategy in the P&C industry, getting a CPCU might show that you've taken the time to learn the ins and outs of underwriting.

Best thing you can do in strategy is go deep in an industry and broad in your tool set.

This isn’t a helpful answer for most people…but Prince 2 because it’s the one I don’t recognize. I literally skip any resume that has PMP on it because the people who get PMPs are the type of people who would get a PMP

I hope you don’t skip over resumes that have PMP on it if the job description asks for it because that would be incredibly fucked up. Personal opinion over what is being asked for is bad hiring practice.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
