Interested in CPIM answer too

I haven't seen it be a differentiation but it can't hurt. I've seen more lean/6-sigma focus.

Not in consulting - in industry, 6 sigma is generally a "Big deal"

In industry, CPIM is a pretty big deal. If you're working with large scale inventory projects, it won't hurt. The CPIM test is changing to 2 exams in August though. Do yourself a favor and do basics now then the 2nd one when it comes out.

C1 thanks! College offered a for credit class that was basically prep for cpim so have all the study materials but great to hear it's getting reduced

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
