I know plenty of PMs with PMPs that have no idea what they’re doing. A piece of paper doesn’t mean you’re competent. I’d rather you just have the right skills, so I value experience over certs. If you have both, great.

What is MC?

What do you want to do? I’ve told Partners I don’t want it because it could pigeonhole me as a PMO which I think is the most mind-numbing job of all time. However, a PMP aligns with your career goals, go for it

Yes! Can't hurt to have any certification. In consulting I have found letter behind your name help. It won't pigeon hold you just to be a PMO if you express interest in other areas as well. Make you more versitial hence marketable.

Currently an assurance senior 3 at EY (promoting to manager in Oct). Want to get insight or anyone who made transfer from one big 4 to another. Was it worth it? What’s the bump in salary? How hard was the transition for you (new terminology, tech, firm culture, etc)? Don’t want to think the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’ve seen so many people made the move to EY from other big 4 and they make much more than I do because of the switch (same city same service line same level).
