I have recently entered the Management Consulting world (previously in accounting) and would like to obtain a few certifications to learn more about the ins and outs as well as to distance myself from the accounting world.

Which certs should I get and which should I start with?
This is my current tentative plan as of now.
Current Year: Scrum Master and ProSci
Next Year: Agile and LSS
3rd Year: PMP and LSS

Please do let me know if this is an unrealistic schedule/any other feedback! Thank you!

Is It better to join a PE Tech company in an impending recession or stay with a public company ?

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds). I can’t shake certain people (in compliance department mainly) thinking I don’t have enough experience to do what I do because I didn’t come from a law firm. Any advice?

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
