Project management certification: I wonder how much do companies take it into account when hiring?

Question

Is it worth to get certified?

Answer 1

It depends on the company. There is no substitute for experience and a proven track record, of course. However, if you ever hope to make the really big bucks working for a major corporation, you have to get your ticket punched (certification is a requirement).
It's like the difference between a paralegal and an attorney. You can do lots of things, and you may know a lot. But, before you can "cross the bar", you've got to have the letters after your name.

Answer 2

My company would love someone with that certificate!!
