Has anyone gone from Tech consulting to strategy consulting at a T2 or MBB? I’m looking to pivot and was thinking of going the B school route but I want to have a backup plan in case I don’t get in anywhere. TIA!

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
