How's a US CMA vs CIMA? Big 4 M in a finance transformation role who's become somewhat of a generalist who knows GBS and operating model design. Looking at this decision to study as an accelerator to exit consulting and having a safety net to do so. Preferred roles are in finance business partnering, program management or key account Mgmt (won't need a finance degree for the last two, I assume, but will help to drive conversations nevertheless).

CIMA is better imo. The partnership with AICPA has elevated the brand in the US, and globally, it is no contest.

I would like your opinion: assume someone at its late 30’s that has been doing Trade Finance (structure trade finance and product development) for the past 10 years. Also assume this individual is looking to do something different but still in banking to leverage the experience acquired through the years... now here is the question: what potential career paths do you see for this person?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
