Hello all . I need advise for switching my career to forensic accounting practice.
Im currently working almost 5yrs for corporate banking, which is obviously non related forensic or accounting practice, but passed all Cpa exam already for career change. What else do i need to be prepared to hunt the foresic job in neat future? The level doesnt matter. I just want to start off with forensic accouting practice. Is additional CFE helpful? Any advise for career change? Would that be hard?

I think you need to be able to explain why you want to make that change. I think the CFE would be helpful to show an interest in that path (and that you’re serious). You can definitely get into it if it’s what you want to do!

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Hi fishes.

I recently completed my MBA from a good institute and am currently a CFA L2 candidate. I have approx 2.5 yrs of workex and am interested in roles like FP&A, Financial Modelling, portfolio/risk management, valuations, or fixed income. Would appreciate a referral for an IB or Management Consultancy.

I am torn between 2 “offers” - first is MBA (insead - no option to defer unfortunately) vs Amazon - Minimum TC 200k (SGD, incl, RSU) - non tech strategy role, first hire for my team in the region. I have 5.5 yrs exp. I see the later as more practical given I was aiming for FAANG post mba but also fear losing the network of the former.... Grateful for any views ☺️
