The exams themself were very subjective, making it unnecessarily more difficult. When using the IIA study material, there were several questions that were simply wrong. Depending on what certifications you have and what your career goals are, will dictate its overall worth. For me - I didn’t need it and in my current role hasn’t change anything. In the future if I want to get into IA or anything with Risk, is where I’m hoping it adds some value.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day.

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
