In the tech business there are companies that require or look more favorable on a candidate having a PMP. My group in a very large multi-national corporation requires the Project Managers to have or obtain one. For companies with a well defined and complex development process (i.e. lots of paperwork), it helps to have people who are trained in processes, which is one of the goals of the PMP. I had obtained my PMP certification about 6 years ago, but have let it lapse, as I am now a Group Head. The PMP really wasn't that difficult to obtain, I did all of the coursework online and took the test at a testing facility. More common sense and "thinking" in the the PMP process than anything.
