They don't get anything done... That's why you're there 😉

They get plenty done. It's just not compressed into consulting hours insanity and they don't have to spend all their time building stupid decks to impress people who don't care. Therefore they have more time to actually be human beings, socialize and have some fun. I guarantee they are having more fun than you are.

Same here. And their pay is like 20% higher than mine.

Exactly, that's every industry.

Fuck me. My spouse works in industry at a 9-5, and she tells me how little time is actually spent working, vs bullshitting, getting coffee, etc.

I moved from industry and all my industry friends stayed or jumped to another form. Same shit everywhere

Obviously...they're also paying hundreds of dollars an hour for us to wipe their asses while they have fun, on top of the salaries being paid to them

I know the job market is not that great as of now but I’ve applied to countless PM roles and have had no success. I want to know from other PM’s if it’s necessary for me to get a PMP certification before I can get a job or it’s not that of a requirement?
