Certificates help but only in permie world to show that you've a semblance of ambition to your next prospective employer.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I moved from a development background to be an Scrum Master then an Agile Coach. I did most of it while being perm.
I've worked with / interviewed a lot chancers who think they can be a BA/PM/SM. Unless you've actually done the role then you will probably underestimate what the role requires and what you have to do or you'll probably do it badly. Everyone thinks they can do someone else's job better.
If you're very good then yes you can do it - if you have an interest in doing a role then I would go back to being a perm and learn to do it properly in lots of companies.Comment
