I'm a software engineer with 5 years experience who is interested in attaining the PMP cert. Although I do have PM experience and some training (certified scrum master), I would like to remain on the technical side for the near future. Would it make sense to attain the PMP if I'm not a project manager?

My motivations are primarily for the knowledge as well as leaving the door open for future opportunities. Furthermore, most if not all of the costs will be reimbursed by my company
