I got my PMP recently but it did not reflect on my pay. However, it definitely made me stand higher within other colleagues of mine and within the current market competition.

Personally, I did the PMP for my own benefit and self development. I am proud to be PMP certified and I have to admit, I did benefit a lot from this journey as you also feel more professional like Stephane mentioned.

No Increment but my management started noticing it and trying to give me more project management responsibilities.
who knows if i can perform better and apply my learnings from PMP there may be an increment sometime in the future.

I got PMP in Jan. Still to start evaluations and increment process. I am not expecting any special increment because of PMP
but it is helping lot in day to day working and performance

I have seen job vacancy ads where PMP is mandatory and they give good hike.

More than money, it is adding value

No, getting my certification didn't lead me to a raise. I am actually starting to believe the combination of PMP and certain technical certifications is what you need to really stand out!!
That is what I'm thinking... I am considering Business Intelligence certifications lately.

NO, but then I am in the Government so if I wanted to go up I could, but since I plan on retiring soon I see no point in the added stress for the little gain in pay. It will help me with my future plans, and that is all that matters.

Not really it has a direct influence in pay / promotion but indirectly 'yes' as it changes the way you work, think & act. Well, it is the professionalism and dedication/ performance to work. The certification only helps as a Catalyst to the chain reaction and nothing more. So, indirectly it does help.

I am in the same line of thinking as Kuntal Jain. Sometimes a direct influence, but almost always an indirect influence

It helped me land a role with a new company... 40% bump.
