Highest paying audit exit ops?
I’ve worked at AT&T as a sales consultant for 6 years and 8 months where we prospect, uncover, and close on leads. I’ve used Salesforce for the past 4 years during my tenure. I’ve done B2B sales where I’ve received awards for it for 2 years consecutively. Loads of troubleshooting, uncovering needs through consultative styled selling, and tech app subscriptions.
I was wondering if I have the necessary skills to transition into a tech sales role. If so, what would be the best role/fit for me?Amazon Salesforce Google @

CPA more prestigious
I love Chick-fil-A.
People who have done it will always say it’s worth it - people who haven’t will tell you otherwise. I haven’t even tried, because I know I couldn’t pass (And i have other priorities in life as a woman, lol), but I’m surrounded by Charterholders all day at work, so I think I can give an unbiased opinion.
The most compelling argument for the CFA was that it removes any question of whether or not you know what you’re talking about - if you can pass that, you know your stuff. However, I’ve seen plenty of people climb the ranks in finance without it it - though, its so competitive these days, it’s kind of a pre-req for young people to get started. It’s a huge time commitment, so definitely worth putting some thought into if you’re really going to shoot for it. Good luck!!!
Depends on your career aspirations. If interested in portfolio management, absolutely worth it to pursue the designation.
Generally no
It’s worth it if you pass all levels in one go. If not you will need to restudy materials and waste a lot of time. Also you need to be committed. It requires time and effort. Once you have it, it definitely has the potential to open doors.
