TOPIC: Was your salary expectations met or exceeded when you got your PMP Certification

Just curious was getting your PMP enough to ask for a salary bump? Or if you were looking for a new work, did it justify asking for a higher pay?

Hi William,

The answer is yes, at least according to the PMI Salary Survey and Report:

www.pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey

Personally, I have gained an enormous salary bump by having earned the PMP (and PgMP) Credentials:
Of course, this might vary and depend on specific circumstances.
But PMP gives you an advantage in the market; no one could deny that, I guess.
Not only in terms of salary, but for me, it opened many doors that would not have opened without PMP.

BR,
