I’m glad the earlier KPMG comment was deleted. This platform attracts toxic people who feel that it is necessary to not add anything of value.

OP if you live with a large city, there might be local conferences hosted by your city government to provide information for people interested in getting into real estate. It would probably be useful if you want to know more about that market.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
