it depends on your target market. HNW go for cfp, otherwise letters mean nothing.

Bang out the awma real quick. It’s like a mini cfp. Will build knowledge real quick and give u some letters. I would t do cfp etc until u are further along.

CFP, CFA, other retirement readiness certifications, brokerage licenses, etc.

I stand partially corrected.

CFP is great place to start.

I've known 3 people who tried to do cfp while staying at $0. none of them got their cfp done because they washed out.
I would build book until it pays the basics first... you can't eat a cfp certification.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Want to get the advice of the group here:

Applying online to a company where there are legit 10 openings that I am qualified for and interested in. I have a referral at the company as well

1) do I apply to all 10 jobs, or does that look bad? I would optimize resume for each of the jobs

2) do I use my referral for all 10? Don’t want to flood his inbox or look like I am just mass applying, or diluting his opinion so to speak.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Hello. I am a Spring 2022 Masters graduate, possibly aiming for a full time conversion in a retail company that I am doing my internship at. My internship is that of a Data analyst. I also have an MBA and 2.5 years of work experience in Financial analysis (from India). Though I am new to tech, I was doing analysis before.

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that.

Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.
