Is there anyone here who managed to pivot to consulting after a part-time MBA? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Is CPA crucial to break into banking?

I am going to work as Audit Associate at KPMG in 2023. I am thinking to stay there for more than a year, then make an attempt into banking. I really hate the CPA exams for its soul-crushing elements. I am rather planning to break into the top MBA programs at the time. I have financial resources to do so but I feel quite mixed after getting the Macc for KPMG position without pursuing the CPA.

Hi fishes,
I need guidance for EY GDS SaT_Strategy Hub_Senior Analyst. I have 1.5 Yoe but the role mentioned 3-6 yoe.
Is it still worth applying or is there any analyst role for this?
PS: experience post Tier 2 MBA

Working on getting CISSP right now; would love to hear any recommendations for study materials if anyone would be willing to share.

I've read the book, have the official prep questions, and about 7 YOE in cybersec but honestly had CCNA and Sec+ in the past and found passing to be more relative to how I'd studied to the test than doing the actual job...

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.

Note: Yes I'm in in marketing - career pivot.
