Which PMP course do you recommend? One of my employees wants to get a PMP certification and I’m willing to use part of our development budget to pay for it. She’s open to on-demand, DIY classes or live classes. I want to make sure the course we choose is good value. Is there a specific one you really like? I’ve done some research on my own but a lot of them seem so similar that it’s hard to choose!

None of them except maybe Melissa Pirri’s. She wrote escaping the build trap. If they’re done by an individual without context or a strong mentor then a lot of the learnings are often misinterpreted

Commerce and Community Development, dual degree. Had strong product mentorship and made the lateral move into product internally a while back and now lead for product

Velociteach boot camp in person was great. I studied for a week after the class and took the exam at the end of the week and passed. (The instructor told me not to take it so soon but I had already scheduled it)

Looks like the bootcamp is virtual-only right now. Do you think a lot of the value for you was that it was in person?

Product strategy cert program from Kellogg is really good . Taught by a well known prof Dr Mohan Sawhney.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
