PwC fish, I should be joining PwC soon. Is there a PMP class/program to obtain the certification or do I have to pursue that with my own dime? I was trying to take advantage of any free certifications in the cyber area to grow my knowledge.

We had a push for free SAFE agile training last year in the digital strategy group. You should be able to get training covered in your group by asking around. Don’t waste time on PMP though that’s old stuff. Ask your talent consultant for help.

Thanks for the info. I’ll be looking to do this training as long as it’s sponsored lol.

Look into the CSM(Certified scrum master) certification

How is it old? Many mentors say it’s a good cert to have especially moving towards a leadership position.

funny

Your mentors are probably old. It’s project management which is waterfall versus agile. As consultants we offer the latest/greatest. PMP won’t get you anything unless you want to be a waterfall project manager.

Or go for Disciplined Agile provided by PMI

The PMP is actually very useful in federal consulting (placed on similar grounds as an MBA). But outside of government and construction (where an MVP obviously doesn’t make sense), the PMP is not widely used anymore.

Which location are you joining?

Is there a way to have the vouchers paid for upfront or reimbursed afterwards?

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
