[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a very prestigious program, and PP is right, you apply as you come out of a grad school program including MA, MS, MBA, JD, and other graduate level programs.  Tough to get into.  I was a PMF twenty years ago, it was the first step in my career.

Work-life is probably dependent on the agency you are with.  I was at a place that is known for long hours and they were.  I wouldn't want that job now as the parent of a young child.  YMMV at another agency.

It WAS a prestigious program 20 years ago when each graduate school could only send their top one or two candidates -- when it was called the PMI.  It's not so prestigious now, and I've been less than impressed with most of the PMFs entering my agency.  A lot of millennials with entitled attitudes who think the world revolves around them.

If you want to succeed as a PMF, as with anywhere, be willing to work hard and respect experience.  The world wasn't invented yesterday and people who've works in the agency for 20 years may know a thing or two that you don't.
