To those who have a PMP secured, did it help you get more opportunities/call backs when applying for jobs? Or noticed the same callback rate?

Looking to boost my resume since I usually fail during screening due to lack of YOE.

I would rather swan dive into concrete than get a pmp and be pigeonholed into a PMO role

I'm aware of that, but what certification is there for product that I am not aware of?

It's a step above project management and pays more but at the base level you're still performing similar functions just more technical deep dive

Definitely wouldn't hurt, it gets highlighted every time we share resumes with clients when staffing engagements.

Recruiters / management love them acronyms, makes it easier to filter without thinking.

It certainly increases your chances for getting interviewed. Also helps in business development since some proposals require a PMP for PM roles.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
