I'm preparing for this exam right now with hopes to take it by the end of the year at the latest. I'm hopeful for a nice pay increase whenever I do get though. A BSEE, MBA, and PMP should command a nice salary. I have a friend who go his PMP last year and he pretty much have the same credentials as I do and Shell hired him and gave him a 25% increase in pay right after he got certified.

I figure a PMP Cert would pay big dividends on the gas company side but probably not so much on the construction side. If I ever thought about jumping the fence I would probably get it but having been a PM for the last 15 or so years on this side, it doesn't carry much weight.

He lied to you.

I work for Shell and in no way shape or form did he get a 25% increase in salary.

The only way this is possible is if he got a 25% increase from his previous salary by coming to work for Shell.
