Is getting the FRM (Financial Risk Manager) Certification worth it? I could see it opening many doors but should I just shoot for my MBA instead? Have about 3 YOE

Thoughts on Prosci or SHRM-SCP certification? Which would be considered more valuable or highly regarded? Currently focused on Change Management but have a HR background (industry experience / area of study in college).

Hi guys,
Would be great if I could get your suggestions on this.
I am currently having around 3yrs of exp in banking field but planning to switch my career to cyber security and in process of doing cpt and ceh certification, so will that be good enough to get into a job or is there something else I should be doing??

Thankyou!!

I am currently working at KPMG as an Analyst. I want to do my MBA in HR and Operations. The feedback that I received from people is that growth in HR is slightly restricted and that HRs don't get hikes (while switching) similar to that of Consulting or Finance or Marketing?

I am not solely interested in HR and am open to other domains as well.

Just curious to how my firms (wealth management/bank/trust) comp compares with others out there. I received a promotion earlier this year from an Investment Advisor, AVP to Senior Investment Advisor, VP and moved from $110K to $140K ($130 salary + $10K discretionary bonus) all in. By meeting expectations in 2 pay cycles, the base bumps up to $175K + bonus. Grown in this role over about 10 years with the same firm, MBA + CFA; top 10 city and living comfortably as dual income household.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Hi I work at Accenture Strategy & Consulting in Management Consulting - Capital Market Practice. I have 5.5 years of experience in Capital Market Consulting. Have worked with Investment Banks, CSDs, Clearing Houses, Exchanges. Have worked on RFI, RFP, PM, Requirements Gathering, BRDs , FSDs. Waterfall to Agile implementation etc.
I am MBA- Finance and did Computer Engineering in UG.
I am looking for a change and looking for opportunity in Strategy or Management Consulting. Kindly refer me.

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

Hello, Looking for Senior Consultant/ Lead advisory role. Having 6+ experience in Information security. Certification in CISA, CISM and AWS CCP

Currently C level (target promo next summer). Been mostly on finance transformation projects. Worked in strategic finance before that at a f500 healthcare company.
What roles/levels would I be a good candidate for at FAANG/Microsoft/other Big Tech?
No hard technical skills (outside of financial modeling).
I’m also studying for GMAT as t15 MBA is a consideration right now, so I could also try to make the switch after that.

I get the feeling that MBA degrees get compensated fairly well...more so than tangible real life experience. What is it about MBAs that is so valuable to the employer?

What certifications are good for technical project manager? I was thinking to start with PSM and PSPO and then move to ITIL, ITSM. Not sure about this though. Not planning to do PMP as I think it’s more waterfall focused. Was also thinking about AWS. Any other certifications recommended?

Someone willing to refer a Strategic Consultant, focusing on Financial Services, with almost 2 years' work experience? I'm 24 years old and the youngest student in my MBA's history.
I would like to work in a tech/Crypto company or in the investment field, ideally Venture Capital/ Private Equity. I am currently based in Italy but my brother is moving to Singapore for his wife and I would like to live close to him and build a future there. Help would be appreciated, thank you

I'm a Tech Risk SC, but have an accounting/finance background. I'm doing the FRM now for broader cert experience, is it worth doing CA long term in my area?

MIS Junior here. Should I graduate next May and start working or get my Masters in MIS and have 1 more internship? I have had two internships already (Business Analyst & QA/Automation Scripting) and I am interning in Cyber this summer at a Top 10 firm. Should I get my masters and try to intern with b4/MBB in cyber consulting or just graduate next May?

Anyone start later in life? About to turn 32 and my retirement savings are sad.

TRX, HODL or SELL ? Should I buy more ?

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?

Hi Folks, how are you doing?

How is it to be a part of Siemens Digital Ind

Should I break up with my girlfriend?

To be continued.

RESUME HELP! I’ve been out of a job for 7 months now. Can anyone provide me feedback regarding my background and experience on my resume? Also suggest any roles? It’s really tough finding a job. 🙁

What's the target revenue for EY's vision 2020? I forgot

If you could change anything about the tax system what would if be? If to simplify, how so exactly?

I applied for another job last night, and today I’ve had a couple managers reach out to see how I’m doing. Does PwC have some kind of big brother operation running or is this a funny coincidence?

What is the up or out mentality at BDO? Close to Senior manager and thinking about path to be a partner

My utilization is 90% but all of my clients are small jobs. Does that look worse than someone who works on the larger, higher revenue generating jobs with all else equal (utilization/performance)?

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

Does anyone know the billable hours goal for managers at EY?

What's the career progression in KPMG deal advisory?

why is everyone moving to Seattle?

Let’s discuss “acting managers” that never get promoted because they can’t pass their CPA. Do you think at a certain point they should be pushed out?

If you left work at 6 and get a bunch of emails between 10:30-11:30pm am I supposed to answer them. Only saw them because I was studying for AUD on my work laptop.

Don't be fooled. Recruiters never have your best interest in mind. Find your own dream job.

I was working on this project for the last 6-7 hours then I realized I haven't had lunch🙂🙃

Have you ever had a partner quit? Where did they go? Why did they leave?

Public client seemed confused when I told them a copy of a JE and a one word description "void" wouldn't be sufficient evidence for the item selected for testing.

Been in my new role (financial analyst) for about 3 weeks now and I feel like the learning curve is a lot more than expected, since we didn’t do much real analysis in audit. Is this feeling normal?

What is EY’s reputation like in Charlotte and the Carolinas region? I hear they had layoffs around a year ago. Is all of this sorted out?

Any advice for interviews for the FASB post-graduate technical assistant program?

How much does a first year audit manager make at EY, NYC office?

Quit PwC today after two years and it felt like I just got out after serving two years of prison time and finally felt freedom🙌🏽
