Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday

It’s good, someone said it was an MBA level cert, which is bs. It’s valued, but not as omg amazing as it used to be. More shops are going agile. Depending on what industry you work for now and I’m the future, an agile cert like ACP SAFe might be better.
Software / Tech- Agile
Boring industry like retail- PMP
Not in our company. It is just a cherry on top but nothing so special about it. But its value may vary depending on the company.
Nope
Pro
Nope. Our teams use agile methodology so we value Scrum Master and Release Train Engineer certifications. PMP is a dying breed unless you work for a government contractor where waterfall development is still the norm.
