Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Lamest set of credentials in the corporate world. No one cares and most PMs that have a PMPs are too inflexible /too rigid in their ways that make project execution worse, not better
I have an MBA and am in project management now, anyone citing certifications after their name probably also has a picture of themselves on their desk.
I hate working with PMPs
I said this on another thread recently: PMP hasn't innovated since Egyptian scribes built the pyramids.
Education is education. It's not going to hurt you but don't expect people to care. Also if you put PMP after your name in your signature like its a Ph.D. expect people to mock you openly.
I have an MBA as well - I guess the perception is that you should naturally be a project manager once you've gone through b-school
KPMG give you a bonus for passing it it's a couple $1,000 also it's encouraged to move up a level
Everyone I know laughs at it
Not worth it
I have it, it is just 3 letters. There are plenty of things in the PMBOK that are actually wrong, let aline interpretation. Its more useful in industry but you aren't getting a pay bump.
That's a decent incentive - do they pay for the test (~$500)? I would think it would help them sell you to clients
Yes they reimburse for the rest if you pass. They will also pay for the training
Very interesting indeed - I have no care one way or another, I heard a partner talk it up yesterday so I thought I'd ask.
Is the partner a PMI member?
Hah! Thanks P2 - a buddy of mine does that on his LinkedIn and I read it as PIMP...but I secretly know it's kinda erroneous
If you want it, you can get it in 4-6 weeks of studying. It's basically memorizing a bunch of project management jargon. More useful for federal client work IMO
It's good to have and a solid foundation for any engagement. However, caution if you don't want to get stuck managing projects as your primary role.
You can also pick up an old revision of the PMBOK on eBay for like $6 and spend an hour flipping thru it to see if you think it will help you get better at what you do.
