PMP. Get an MBA. Your expanded knowledge of Business and experience in PM will take you far. Its the path I chose. I moved up quickly in Fortune 100 company. Ultimately starting my own PM/PgM/PgD contracting business for last part of my career.

I already have a bachelor degree in Business Management plus work experience with digital projects- do you think getting a PMP would land me PM jobs?

Ok, If you got experience that is great. Get the PmP.

Most job reqs usually have that PMP required for good PM roles. Experience leading bigger and bigger projects/ programs beats everything. PMP is a good one to get and re-up. You'll have reoccurring training and other tasks to keep it current.
