no job posting will request CMA but there are tons that ask for CPA

CMA is only good if you are in sales or property tax and unable to pass the CPA exam.

The CPA is by far the gold standard of the two and the most recognized.

The CMA is asked (listed in the job descriptions and provides internal resources for it as well) for by a few Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Verizon, and Johnson & Johnson to name a few.

I'm sitting for both the CPA and CMA but there is no question that the CPA is what is prioritized.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
