I’m a 34 year old manager w/ MBA working in compliance operations… never was the plan but ended up here because I wanted the EY brand and a bigger salary… Now I’m reaching a point where I need change and, being intrigued by data science, I started a masters in business analytics. I’m worried about trying to pivot into business analytics as I’m so new to coding... What roles should I look into? Is this one of those “step back, leap forward” moves where I should consider entry level roles?

I think entry level roles are a bad idea - but you might be get a PM / Mgr role in a data analytics team.

No, with your Masters and EY Manager on your resume, you should be able to bluff into a mid-level/middle management role in analytics (granted that you have some understanding of the technicals and are confident).

Why do you "need change"? What does that mean? Beyond a general interest, why is a masters in business analytics the right way to bring about the desired change?

There are plenty of other ways to bring about change, or to get access to analytics work. Knowing more about your decision criteria and motivations would help.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
