In my books, a PMP certification means you'll be an awful PM

I think you age ten years while taking it

I really don't think there's an age for that. I know a friend who is PMP certified and he's 23. I also know a mentor that got his PMP certification at 48. If you have the "experience," do it. I put that in quotes because you can technically spin anything into project management experience. Cheers

I got mine at 28

I think I was 28 or 29

D1, how many people with a PMP have you met

Think the requirement is at least 3 yrs of experience...correct?

Did mine at 27

Got mine at 29 because I was on a boring AF project and had plenty of time to do boot camp and study. Now it will sit on my resume while I do nothing with it

D3 and it shouts to D1 and all the world that you are an incompetent person 😜

Haha apparently. Some companies eat that shit up!

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
