What are certifications/skills that are great to have when looking to make the exit from PA? I’m seeing things like Six Sigma, Power BI, CMA, etc. on job postings but am curious what all I could do to make myself look like a great candidate (qualifications wise). I have the free time to dedicate to this process and don’t mind taking tests/studying.

cloud if you are at all technical. Pick up some cloud certs like AWS or GCP, and a bit of SQL. enter into a business analyst role or other role at a tech company and double your pay.

I went from audit to cloud strategy at a boutique and went from 60k>120k with 3 yoe

Thanks, I will definitely look into these!

I think CMA?

It 100% depends on the exit.

There are opportunities that would prefer the CMA, CISA, CFA, CPA, etc that are all worlds apart.

I currently have my CPA. I don’t necessarily know what I want to exit to, do you think any of these certifications are worth trying to get?

It depends on what you want to do. Not all those are created equal. But anything digital related (eg alteryx, tableau, etc) is going to be useful.

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
