Thanks for sharing your experience. It's really inspiring and you're going to finish the challenge this week!

Would you recommend PSM I certification for people with no work experience?

I think those titles could be a best fit for a senior role that needs to manage a team. With no work experience a good book should be a best investment, but I could be wrong. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you for your kind words!

It doesn't hurt to get the PSM I certification if you intend to be a Scrum Master later on or just want to learn more about Scrum, since the certification doesn't expire. It also allows you access to junior Scrum Master positions (albeit kind of rare).

Scrum Masters are not managers, but facilitators. They are not supposed to have authoritative power, just that they help teams utilize the Scrum framework properly.

Personally, I think it can be beneficial if you want to work with a Scrum team. However, it's more important to improve as a developer first.
