Full disclosure, I am not a mechanical engineer, but I work with a team of them and in fact instruct mechanical engineers in tribology related certifications. I see many going after STLE and ICML certifications and classes in order to get those CE credits as well as the benefit of new info.

I have ran into resistance from some folks doing this, but it is usually the chemical engineers that get this attitude from what I have seen and less of the mechanical engineers.

Thanks for the reply. If that person does not exist within your organization, where do you look?

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)?

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
