Working in project management- would note I don’t think certs change your qualifications or make you a better PM- it’s busy busywork for a piece of paper.

Depends on the type of work you are doing - more traditional pm stuff, PMP and YOE. If you are in tech or an agile environment, CMS and SAFe have helped me stand out in a hiring crowd.

Honestly just experience. I see people with all these fancy certifications and they can’t even kick off a meeting. Diversify your industries too. Pharmaceutical is way different than cpg etc.

If I were going to do any certs I would do that new Google one. But lack of certs or education hasn't held me back so I'll probably never do any.

Certs help more if you work in government or corporate... not really necessary if you're working in creative agencies.

That's said, if you do want get them, start with CSM -- it's not too expensive and definitely practical.

Managing projects is always good experience. I also did the PMP

Best certification = PMP

It depends. While looking for jobs most of them right now are requiring the PMP. So, that is the one that I went out and got.
