Hi Experts, I got through my PMP with above average in all the 3 domains and passed CSM with a 100% Score.

My ambition is to become a top Project manager in the Software industry. Please advise me on my next step, what certification should I do next and what after that? what is most in-demand and what will help me to become an expert in Project management (I know along with the certifications the experience matters but let's focus on the certifications here)

Thank you.

Enjoy the journey, Ami. I certainly did mine!

PMI-ACP is a great stepping stone, given your PMP and CSM. Just remember that PMI-ACP courses are knowledge-centered. The exam questions are situational in nature, just like the PMP exam.

I'm biding my time right now. I hope to build up from ACP to DA certifications eventually.

@Ami, I experienced a similar choice to you and I decided to expand my knowledge in the software vertical I am interested in. For me, that's Salesforce and AWS. My suggestion is to look at the global SAAS providers and Cloud providers and jump in.

There could be more with global reach like Workday, Servicenow, Azure, Google...
