I mean there significantly fewer PMPs in the entire world than there are j.d.s just in the U.S. Seems like a lot of alpha jobs value this qualification too.

I am planning to get a PMP this year. It is a really annoying process...for the application you need to give a lot of detailed information about your past work history.

Everyone I've asked for advice says that it is a worthwhile certification to get.

Is your company sponsoring you for it? How much does it cost total?

I'm in a management role now but i think most of it would fall under business as usual rather than project management. How much do they really look into what you do? And how malleable is the concept of "project management." Don't they want like 4k hours experience?

Yes, my company is willing to pay up to a few thousand dollars for me to take the training. Cost varies dramatically based on which company you use for training.

I hope the concept of project management is very malleable. They supposedly audit a small percentage of the resumes submitted to them.

Do you have legit PM experience? My understanding is PM = executing a limited duration plan with predetermined parameters like budget and time. Most of what I do is repeating stuff we do year over year.

(Or just list them. It would be annoying to track down everyone and ask them to fill out forms or something.)

If you're looking to take an in-house or JD preferred position it can help. While most of the jobs won't even ask for a PMP or specify it as a plus, HR/hiring departments recognize it instantly. It let's you spin an easy narrative about how you're capable of "managing legal projects" and "running the legal department efficient / like a business / within budgets + time constraints". The latter points distinguish you from the pile of other JD applicants coming from law firms who don't possess any business related certifications.

It's a general project management certification, so can be applied towards anything that has time / budget / coordination aspects to it. I don't have one, but I have numerous other certifications in my field that affords me total job security because of them.
