I'm a strategy consultant at a T2 strategy house. I do 50/50 corporate strategy and CDD work in the UK. If I want to exit into PE, do you think it's worth doing the CFI certificate in Financial Modelling and Valuations, as we don't really get financial modelling experience at all where I am. If it's not necessary how do you showcase financial modelling skills on the CV?

No need to do any certs - network and do well in interviews. Thats all that matters - anything else isnt helping you get a job.
