Free or paid?

Deloitte debriefs are free that you can sign up for.

I've only tried a couple of subscription based ones (paid by my employer) - Becker and Encoursa. I liked Becker better, but I used Becker for CPA prep. Encoursa is cheaper and does the job.

Self-led course with exams that allow you to get large amounts of CPE credits at a time. That means you can go at your own pace.

It is so much easier to get a 16 hour chunk when you are coming up to a deadline than to piece together multiple 1hr webcasts from all the B4 and regional firms.

That very much depends on your state requirements - not true in Texas, for example.

Big 4 have free high quality CPE. If you are vigilant, you should be able to reach 40. Based on my experience, EY and KPMG have more CPE sessions than DT and PW. RSM, BDO and GT also have session which I listen but the quantity is less than B4.

Free - cpa academy

Aside from B4, Workiva, BlackLine, Protiviti, etc. also offer free CPE. If you get to attend conferences, there are also opportunities through PLI, ERP conferences (i.e. SAP), AICPA, and all those mentioned above. Lots of resources for paid CPE but plenty of opps for free CPE if you stay on top of it and receive some of the newsletters for upcoming webcasts.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for.

She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
