I have been thinking of pivoting my career for some time and the urge is getting stronger over time. I am currently working as an engineer in construction industry, specifically main contractor/developer. While i am fulfilled and content with my job, i always wanted more and i feel like wanted to get out of my comfort zone and experience other industry by changing my field.

I wanted to break into a more "corporate" working environment such as consultancy (Big4) or commercial fields. I understand that my skills as an engineer is highly transferable and i have seen some of my engineers friends have been successfully transitioning into other industries.

I'm highly interested in managing projects, be it construction or business projects. Dear fellow sifus, is taking PMP/Prince2 certificate helpful to someone who wants to change industry? I understand that cert is just a cert, and the skills and experience you have are still important. Any other tips for someone like me who wanted to take a leap of faith to change my career?

I have recently completed my PMP and i would said the PMI knowledge is worth taking.

As someone who is thinking of pivoting in this role as well can anyone advise what is the most cost/time effective way to train for PMP/PMI Certification?

from my points of view, you need to have project management experience because PMP exam questions are all scenario based questions. it's not direct as ABC
