@BCG1, do you recommend anything else?

Do it if free

Waste of time

Agile (take your pick - CSM, ASM, etc.) or something from SAFe.

@BCG1, appreciate it, thank you.

CSM

Just got one this weekend. Also got CSM. If free, then I figure no harm in having it

PMP = Federal. Fed consultants love this worthless cert

I paid for it and breaks my heart to read that folks here think its useless..

I’m hoping someone might have some ideas about this- I’m currently five years out of law school with a clerkship, a tax LLM, 3 years of experience doing transactional tax work and a few months of EC/VC experience (which I recently switched to from tax).
