Hello, I'm looking to get certified by either CSCP or CIPS (<1 YoE). Any advice on future career progression? Is is a valuable certification to get as a consultant? Or is it more oriented towards industry professionals?

Thanks.

I highly recommend CIPS. Learning new skills can only help your career and open up new opportunities for you.

I agree with SCM1. I'd go with CIPS too. It is a good certification that will offer you the basic principles to function well in an organization.

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work.

Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?
