Only recognize the CFA. Impressive but mostly irrelevant to what we do day in and day out. Pursuing it could be an avoidance mechanism to not do all the other things that do matter

Companies want to hire people with them

Bingo. Certifications & designations are for hiring managers, not clients

CFP among the most important to have.

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.
