I am a manager and do consulting. I am thinking of becoming a CFP but not sure if it’s worth it. I’m not a CPA and don’t plan on becoming one, but thinking CFP is more suiting for what I do. Any advice ??

Do you do wealth management or consult with HNW individuals? If you do work on retirement planning, taxes, insurance, or trust/estates then maybe it’s worth it.

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.

Thoughts?

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
