kpmg 1 why comment if u know nothing about cfp. nothing at all to do w 1040s. actually b4 such as pwc has practice lines where cfp wud be an asset. pursue if u want to transition into fin planning and want a resume booster. however many of the jobs are sales/commission. so if thats not of interest may not be worth it . im cpa and cfp but let my cfp lapse since i no longer saw need to keep it up once i wasnt working at fp firm or investment advisor.

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
