Green Belt Six Sigma Certification - how hard of exam is it? Comparing to GMAT/CPA? Would this add value or exit options from Big 4?

Easy exam, and damn near worthless these days.

Outside of Consulting, six sigma is most valued by manufacturing and military... if those aren’t your targets, not sure how much value they would add. I have not taken the exam, but have heard it’s easier than PMP (only reference familiar to me). Black Belt is harder, but maybe because of requirements unrelated to exam, not sure.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
