Thanks for watching this episode with Aysha. Here is a link to access her Project Manager PMP resources for free >> diversifypm.com/

[@technicallyadvantaged]

I’ve been in tech sales for 6 months now and take the PMP cert tomorrow. This is right on time.

[@Youonlyloseyourself]

Good luck. The world is Agile 😊you’ll thank me later 💯💯💯💯. Go get that PMP. Note: Take the breaks

[@symonebeez]

Goodluck!

[@siethomas4046]

That’s amazing news. Do you have a degree in tech or previous experience?

[@technicallyadvantaged]

@@siethomas4046 did not have tech experience prior to tech sales although I do have an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems and an MBA.

[@AyshaDeezy]

Good luck on your exam!!

[@doug2bitemore]

Started tech in 2021 and landed my first $100k job in in 2023. There's never been a better time to get into tech.

[@symonebeez]

Thanks for sharing Doug! Keep crushing it. I agree now is the best time to get started.

[@lesliegytan]

That’s awesome! If you don’t mind sharing, What pathway did you take?

[@doug2bitemore]

@mustbeleslieg First, I got my CCNA and Security+ certification, then I landed a job at an MSP as a junior sysadmin. 18 months later I transitioned my current role (network engineer). If you can get an entry-level role at an MSP like helpdesk, you'll learn a ton in a short period of time and become desirable to other companies. I also suggest building and imaging a couple of computers if you're just starting out.

[@FloridaInvestor]

Doing what?😊

[@doug2bitemore]

@@FloridaInvestor My current role is a SysAdmin/Network Engineer.

Simone, you and the team choose some amazing guests. Their transformation into their present rolls are so inspirational.

[@symonebeez]

Thank you! These are all of my friends I know some amazing people with amazing stories.

[@livedefy]

I'm glad you mentioned that the PMP helped you get the salary you want. I'm starting to see this idea that Certs don't mean anything and they are saying people should stop trying to get Certs and try to get the experience instead. While I agree that racking up on Certs is not going to guarantee a job, I don't think they shouldn't be written off altogether like we don't need them. Experience is definitely important, but the Certs are definitely the door openers.

[@oasisfullfilled7617]

I would say this. I have been a program Manager for 15 and I was making six figures without a PMP. I did eventually get my PMP two years ago. Some companies require it and some dont. What I notice is a billion dollar company dont care but a smaller company would. However PMP is a global recognize certification, but I will say I was making 6 figures without it. Always invest in yourself like Get your Agile and SAFe certifications, but confidence is what get you in the door

[@RoyalHerbalOrganics]

Beez love your platform. This is an amazing guest, she speaks true what anyone should aspire towards in tech or any career. Having multi skills will definitely assure that there is always a job. Keep up the good work and the fire content coming. 👍😊

[@symonebeez]

Thanks for watching I appreciate you!

[@trabucks]

I am glad yall said don't just get stuck in one role if you have other interests. This is my third tech role im interested in and I'll keep going until I'm satisfied

[@mandyk510]

Such a great interview! When Aysha said she wants to transition to system engineer cause she’s tired of talking to people I felt that in my soul 😂 I am definitely working to increase my technical knowledge so I can transition from project management as well lol

[@gabriellegiselle]

Love how she’s doing well but still keeps her options open to other paths

[@symonebeez]

Same! Forever learner.

Project Manager Professional (PMP) . Government technology, working in tech for the government or a government contractor company

[@astronautnick7150]

@@symonebeezhey I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and came across one saying we could work 2 Jobs in the gov tech at the same time. How would you go about that, like where would you find specific night roles or would you apply to a regular job and just negotiate to have it during the night? Could you make a video on this?

[@sunflowersandsand]

Happy for her but these stories are so jarring to me. She got offered a $105k job off rip after asking for $80k? These are unicorn stories. Very insightful and great to hear nevertheless but her start is unrealistic for the majority of us. Maybe I'm just cynical because this job market and job application process has been so frustrating 😅🫠 looking for a new PM job now and seeing 500+ people (Senior professionals w/ masters degrees included) apply to entry level PM roles. It's tough out here.

[@symonebeez]

Keep applying and they are always hiring PMPs in the GovTech space. It's interesting people think these are unicorn stories when we are regular people.

[@kayd.1755]

You can’t compare the hiring market 2015-2019 with now. With her PMP certification she got more pay. Don’t be discouraged keep applying, revamp your resume

[@nofalsegod4]

She was not tryna be as transparent with what she is earning. Lol its always easier to speak about past earnings then what one is currently earning!
