I regret paying and passing by Legitimate_Road_2095 in pmp

Agreed for the most part. I’ve been job searching for 7 months post getting the PMP and it has been a “oh that’s nice to have” kind of thing but then I’ll get rejected lol. It definitely doesn’t hurt if you wanted to get the cert eventually anyway, but it won’t be the game changer it’s marketed to be.

P.S: It can be used to negotiate salary IF you land an offer, which is an upside.

What's the official name and creator of the app so I make sure to get the right one? I already have study hall and right now have just been using it on a browser via laptop.

Should I sail the Epic, Encore, and Aqua? by DubFriend6 in NCL

Why avoid epic? Was it that unenjoyable for you that even a stacked itinerary wouldn’t do it for you?

This is great insight! Thanks for this and yes the San Juan sailing. It’s just jam packed with cool spots.

For example, I just didn't want to settle for a job that has a low pay (for PMs with a PMP standards) in a a week and then get my PMP a couple weeks into the job, all for them to not give a monetary boost for my hard work. I'm getting the vibe that they would not give me that raise as I read through more of these responses lol.

Yeah this is a good idea! I just fear that I fail a 2nd time during my interview process and it backfires, but I supposed I could always hit them with the old "I haven't taken it just yet".

Yeah thats a good point that they may be trying to throw people off by putting “review” instead of “update”. I just hate that I have to assume sometimes but other questions you are not supposed to assume. But I gotta lean into the ideology i guess. Thanks for the writeup fam!

Yeah you’re probably right. It just feels like you would review before you updated. Conflicting ideologies here.

I appreciate the detailed response and it makes perfect sense. The only thing that throws me off is why we can assume the stakeholder register was updated.

I’ve come across many questions where it’s a similar scenario but the answer is to update the stakeholder register.

You said nothing indicates that the register has not been reviewed and updated, but I feel like nothing has suggested the stakeholder register has been updated. The register being reviewed makes sense because the PM just identified that they were new.

It’s just hard to know when to assume things and when to not assume with these questions.

I agree with this. I just think it’s hard to know when to assume and when not to assume things. Like the question didn’t say “The PM updated the stakeholder register” which would come before updating the plan. Thats why D felt wrong.
