What are some recognized PM/Scrum certifications for entry level employees? I have little over one year of project management / scrum master experience so PMP is not an option. Thanks
More important to have a referral and applicable work experience on your resume.
Product Manager is not a project management role. That's TPM. At Microsoft a lot of PMs are non-technical project managers though.
Thank you everyone for great insights
Having hired PMs, I really don't care about certs. It's great to help learn the skill, but in the interview I don't care if you have certs, just skills.
Microsoft has no requirements. We hire people with useless majors and let them be PMs. I've even seen admins assistants transfer into PM roles.
