I have the CMA designation which I earned a few years back, after about a year and a half to two years of study. I didn’t have an accounting background, and it’s not an easy exam. I didn’t have enough credits to pursue the CPA. Working in public accounting, I strongly agree that in this field, the CMA designation doesn’t carry much weight. It’s a shame, because it really does take a lot of hard work to earn it.

Wow! How long ago did you start?

CMA is useless. Get the CPA and then if you feel the need to go further, learn new skills and network. That will serve you much, much better than a CMA.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…
