I’d also add that unless you have a serious interest in specializing in individual tax work, it will be completely useless. Don’t do it if you do and want to continue to do corporate tax work.

What are your long term goals? Try to think where do you want to be 5-10 years from now and see what you need to get there. You can do this by looking up individuals that you admire and aspire to be one day and see what they did to get there. Just getting certifications for the sake of adding letters after your name is not the best strategy to undertake.

My dream is to be a COO or a CEO and I knew that in order to get there I need to pivot into strategy and operations. And going back to school was the way to get there. I get excited about the idea of solving problems that have the potential of helping organizations and people by building relationships with customers, employees, vendors, suppliers, etc. I like thinking about the next product that a company should launch, or the next market that a company should enter, etc. I Hope to get into strategy consulting and then go from there. Happy to chat some more of you want. Feel free to DM me.

Not if you’re in audit. Honestly, not even if in tax unless you want to have your own firm and do financial planning on the side or something to that end.

I would like to know as well, tax side.

What about CISA or an internal audit certificate for audit peeps

Don’t know. Someone else will have to chime in as I only really know the tax side.

So here's where I'm at....I have a job that's VERY stable but a manager that well, manages poorly.

I've seen that they just had workers retire after 35-40 years and the reviews are at 82% recommended work place. My goal is to get to 1st shift. Thoughts?
