I have about 4 YoE in accounting and tax consulting, have my CPA and recently moved to a management consulting boutique that focuses on Change and Digital Transformation (data/technology/systems).

I want to maximize my growth and have been asked to pick a speciality. Would it be more useful to have a PMP/Agile/Scrum certification or a more technical background within AWS/Azure etc?

Thanks for your help!

I've got 4 years at a staffing agency after getting Masters in HRM and making a complete career change in 2018. Doing full cycle recruiting and account management. I feel I'm doing very well (in the role and with comp $57 base + commission = ~$91k last year) BUT I feel stuck!! I'm feeling undervalued and unchallenged.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
