Getting the CPA is so worth it. Every job description out there prefers candidates with CPA. IMO, CIA can narrow your door.

Depends on your goals. What do you want to do with your career? If it’s not internal audit, get the CPA.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
