This may be because I’m on a particularly bad client that management won’t let me roll off of, but I also think I just may not like accounting. Any advice on where to go from here?

Hi everyone. Can anybody let me know about the culture, work life balance, compensation growth and career growth at HDFC Ltd.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
