Is Project management institute(PMI) certification worth it?

I am a Software Developer in an automotive company and have about 8 years of experience. My company is offering a free PMP certification course. My colleagues are taking the course. I was wondering PMP certification will be useful for me if i wanted to lead a project or something? Suggestions welcome

I hope this post finds y'all well. so I'm currently working as a SDET 2 in a product base startup and my total experience is 4 years and 10 months. now I'm seeking a PM certification course from a reputed institute of India. 1) I want genuine opinions ( preferably from other PMs) as to whether it is the right move to switch from engineering to PM. will it be worth the hassle ? 2) also my current job is remote so are there decent remote PM opportunities or the role demands you to be in the office more ( this Is an important factor) 3) while making the switch would I have to compromise on the package since it's a role switch ? how much hike can I expect like I'm making X right now 20/30% on that ? would really appreciate genuine opinions.

Technical Lead with 8 YoE

I am a Software Engineer(3-YOE) and want to transition to Product Management role. Does the ISB PM certifications help us in any form for that or regular MBA is required to get the role.

Seasoned PM's can you share any Industry Valued certifications for Product Manager available ?

Hi, I have over 3 years of experience as an instructional designer, but I don't have hands-on experience in change management. I'm interested in the Prosci Change Management Certification to enhance my skills and career prospects. However, since it's a costly program, should I pursue this certification now, or wait until I have the opportunity to gain practical experience in change management through a project? Many projects and job profiles that I am interested in require change management expertise, but my chances of gaining real experience are limited as I am already booked for a project as a training developer until 2025.

I work as a PM in a B2B SaaS startup and have an overall 4 years of experience all of which is in product management. Now, feeling a stagnant in growth and salary. I was wondering if I should try for an. MBA from IIMs or ISB? My current package is around 36 LPA. I do not want to change my field and I like being a PM. Then does MBA make sense for me in long term?
