They are both dumb

If you're looking for a legit credential go get a Top 20 MBA.

EY 1, why do you think so? I don't know much about either, other than I have seen the credentials occasionally in the manufacturing industry. I might choose to work in this industry at some point.

If you are already a CPA then both of these credentials aren't very meaningful. CPA already expects you to know this stuff and the tests for these are not difficult to pass. When I see people with these things after their name I think they are the kind of person that thinks they are special because they have letters behind their name. The only other credential in finance that really matters (of course, this is all just my opinion) is CVA or CFA/CFP because they require an entirely different set of skills/knowledge.

Should be STFU

Seriously? It was a reasonable question.

I think the consensus is don't waste your time with these designations.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
