A belated “Happy Thanksgiving” to you and Happy Holidays. Celebrating the holidays in a new place can produce lots of new feelings and generate some fantastic new traditions (Christmas lights on palm trees comes to mind). Sounds like your adventures in APAC have been good ones and you are happy. Congratulations!

Thanks Sam for sharing the link. As a new exam there’s definitely some growing pains. I still need to find out about the Dec 13 exam – seems I’ve fallen through the cracks and didn’t receive a notice.

Cheers

Where are decent schools for the CGEIT.
I looked everywhere.
I found some stuff on this blog

but mostly laments about this issue.
It is a brand new exam.

Hi Don,

Good to hear that. Any positive news is good as there’s been too little these days.

Asia is growing and eventually focus on growth will find a breakthrough. Fundamentals here are stronger and intra-Asia trade is a lot bigger and healthier than many even know. Lots of US grads are coming here to find work. Its a good move to invest but they have the chance.

For more experienced folks, its about finding the niche – combining need with experience. Often that’s in some kind of coaching/consulting. People need to upskill and they know that but its hard – like the chicken+egg problem.

Cheers

Glad to hear that things are looking up a bit in the Asia market. Perhaps there is hope for those of us who would like to move into that marketplace.

I’m also sensing an improvement in the business climate in the US, although it is very muted so far. But there are some pockets of hiring (healthcare notably) and I no longer get a sense of disaster when I talk to people.
