WhoMe asked:


I work at a large financial consulting firm, and many of my peers are licensed attorneys, CPAs, EAs (an IRS thing), etc. But my particular job involves Microsoft solution development. There’s a large internal push going on to make sure that all client serving personnel are certified, but there is some flexibility in selecting a certification.

Which of these two options do you think has a longer lifetime? Are there additional options I should be considering?
Java wouldn’t be useful here. There’s a CPA here who for some odd reason obtained that, and he concurred. Though I am sure you enjoy having that wherever you work.

britpop1887 asked:


can anyone highlight the differences? i know i/o psych is more personnel centered but i’m interested in the company practices/processes side.
which is more lucrative? which has the better outlook? which is growing faster? are they different in terms of stress on the job or similar?
are mba’s more valued by companies than PhDs in business psych?
if anyone is working in either of these fields, what do you like/dislike? what is your typical workday like? job satisfaction? salary and benefits?
