hey @Conman89‌ , so you wanted to go in a research analyst role? I think CFA would be more relevant then. It seems like an industry standard to have CFA in that role. While I get your point on CIPM taking less time/resources, I am doubtful if that’s useful for your job search in this field? You have an MBA already, that should be the anchor of your job search (before you get the CFA), doing anything else like CIPM would not seem to be helpful, in my opinion.
