Hi everyone, I’m a Process Improvement Consultant with ~3 years of experience, from an engineering background, currently working in healthcare in Canada.

I’m thinking about transitioning into finance and considering CFA to support that move. Has anyone made a similar switch?

Do you think this is the right move, and is CFA the right path for my background? What roles should I realistically target?

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)
