Curious about this too. What kind of programs or classes can I take to help transfer account management experience over to a client success role within a Saas co?

With respect to customer success, my job recommends: Customer Success Association's Certified Customer Success Manager (CCSM) or the SuccessHacker Certified Customer Success Professional (CCSP). Hope this is helpful!

Hi everyone,

Not long ago I obtained bachelors and in the interim I have been working at Morgan Stanley.

Is it even possible to to do for instance masters in law if I only have bs in business or for example masters in something related to renewable energy or so?
