Most people asking “Do I need a PMP to become a Project Manager?” are asking the wrong question.
The real question is:
What problem are you trying to solve by getting certified?
In this video, I break down:
-
When a PMP certification actually helps
-
When it’s a waste of time and money
-
Why certifications don’t create judgment or experience
-
The real order you should follow if you want to become a Project Manager
I’ve worked as an IT Project Manager for 8+ years, earned over $300,000 in a single year working remotely, and I’ve done it all without a PMP.
This isn’t anti-certification.
It’s about using the right tool at the right time.
If you’re serious about becoming a PM — especially in IT — this will save you months (or years) of going in the wrong direction.
