Hello fellow business analysts! What are the best certifications for a business analyst? I'm also interested in general certifications that are valuable for our profession.

CBAP or BCS . However there are others depending on skills one wants to achieve or handle. Like I have SAFe 6.0, Certified Scrum Master, some Microsoft certs, etc
Sometimes these may not seem enough when looking for a new role. Always need to keep aspiring or you can win with experience.
I am considering PSM or PMP and trying for IMC as I want to break in the finance sector.

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?
