Tldr: connect with me on LinkedIn. For the first time in years, I’m looking for work. My last company hired an agency to coach me, and one of their main points is to tell everyone I’m looking, and to network.
I have over 10 years' experience in complex financial crime investigations in a Tier 1 global bank, and before that managed teams and projects in fraud operations. I hold the CAMS and CFE certifications. Experiences and skills include business analysis, quality, analytics, and leadership and I have managed teams as large as 20 and budgets to $10MM. I'm currently oriented on senior consulting/advisory roles or to manage complex investigations, remotely or hybrid in the Pacific Northwest.
Let’s connect on LinkedIn! I am active and genuine, and engage with my connections' content. I promise I won’t try to sell you anything, unless you’re hiring in the areas I note above, and then I guarantee you’ll want to hear from me.

Thanks

Looking for some advice and different perspectives.
Career advancement isn’t my goal. This is primarily about learning and, admittedly, personal fulfillment. I already have multiple master’s degrees, including one from UMPI.
I’ve been accepted into several doctoral programs, as well as a master’s program at a more prestigious university. Here’s what I’m weighing:
- Master’s at a well-known, prestigious university: Approximately $60,000 and one year to complete with transfer credits.
- Doctorate at a lesser-known university: Approximately $30,000 and one to two years to complete.
At this stage, another master’s would offer the school’s reputation, alumni network, and resources. A doctorate would mean reaching a new academic level, but at a school with less name recognition.
If career advancement weren’t the deciding factor, which would you choose? Would you place more value on the higher degree or the stronger university name and network?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced a similar decision.

This is so very cool. David Collins is in my Basic Program cohort.
"David Collins, a current student in the Graham School’s Basic Program, recently had research from his doctoral studies cited by Justice Amy Coney Barrett in a U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion in an election law case. A practicing lawyer with a long-standing interest in history, David pursued his graduate studies part time while building his legal career and now continues his engagement with ideas through courses at Graham."
"When the U.S. Supreme Court recently considered a significant election law case, Watson v RNC, Justice Amy Coney Barrett cited and quoted from David’s scholarship, Absentee Soldier Voting in Civil War Law and Politics, in her majority opinion. David, now a student in the Graham School’s Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults, was surprised to see research from his doctoral studies enter a current legal discussion."
"Pursuing a lifelong interest in history, he undertook graduate studies at Wayne State University starting late in his legal career. He earned his PhD in 2014, at the age of 69."
