CFA is gold standard for proving finance know-how without lots of experience

Never even heard of it

CFA is looked at favorably, but highly dependent on position

As someone who builds models full-time, I can tell you there is less than zero recognition for a "FMVA". CFA is best. As others have mentioned, CPA and FRM have their niches.

CFA. I know a lot of people getting FRM too.

No

As a copywriter, I often feel the need to provide more value to the team outside of just writing. Because whether it’s always true or not, writing is one of those things that even a strategist or an AD can do really well. I always feel the need to compensate. Does anyone else feel that way and how do you manage that?

I am terrible at withholding salary information from recruiters. Yesterday a recruiter gave the line “I would hate for us to get to the end of the interview process only for it to turn out that we couldn’t give the salary you would need” so I panicked and threw out a number that was thirty percent higher than my current pay. He then told me the salary range which was way higher! Do you really just firmly repeat “I need to learn more about the team and benefits before I can assign a number?”
