Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Anyone have a CFE designation and taken the test recently? Debating about getting it wasn’t sure if it’s worth it.

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Can I retire from Pwc if I want to??

I'm really feeling afraid about joining since I see max people leave after 2-3 years.

I want to work for 6-7 years at least. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

Any help will be appreciated

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

Where should I go? I’m after FC at Schwab, Vangard or somewhere else where I can be a planner and clear 100K + a year.

Base of $80 would be nice. I’ve made so many other people money this year I’d rather quit and not work than keep doing this. Business partner will make $500K this year on net new money, that I closed for them. Plus, anything developed they will get paid. I’ll be happy to possibly get a bonus at the end of the year? Maybe?

CFP & ChFC looking to change firms. Currently in a bank program, but not a large portable book to bring over to the next firm. Over a decade experience and about to finish up my MBA. Currently nowhere near the income level I want to be. Any suggestions for a good program to go to for my next move?

Looking to transfer into a client associate role (unregistered at the moment, but willing to obtain).

Does anyone happen to have a referral or can anyone give DM me some insight into what a CSA role would look like? I appreciate it.
