How hard is the CFE exam? Worth the price?

What's the job outlook like for Fraud and Forensic accounting? Thinking about getting in, currently working on my CFE.

About to start studying for the CFE. On the pre assessment I had passing scores (greater than 75%) for all the sections besides law (72). Is the pre assessment a good representation of knowledge for the actual exam? And do I need to study as much as the ACFE guides recommend?

Anyone on that CFE grind?

How important is it to get your CPA in the long run/ outside of big 4? Would CFE be beneficial? I’m a forensics staff.

Has anyone taken the CFE exam? How did it go? Was it hard? Gow did you prepare?

Comp question - what should a B4 Senior with a CPA, CFF, CFE, and a MBA with 4 years forensic exp (D&T) and 6+ years non-forensic exp (industry) in NYC and DC markets expect in this current climate?

Applied for a B4 senior forensic role, but was not even granted an interview after my initial phone screen with HR; I’m confused why because i thought they needed bodies. My background includes 4 years of forensic experience on multiple investigations and program oversights, 5 years in other professional, non-forensic roles, and i have both a CFE and a CPA under my belt. The phone screen was basically HR asking if i have used google suite and tableau
