I've only met 2 people with the CMA at my clients but they were both successful cost accountants at good companies so that tells me it's valued in the field it is meant for, at least for the 2 people I met. All of the CFOs and controllers I've met have been CPAs though. You have already gotten this far, you need to stop being a puss and get the exams done. If you planned it out and stuck to your plan, you could be finished with all of them in 4 months.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
