Alright I know this is a pretty basic question, but someone told me that you have to pass the exam a few times, like it runs out, and I just don't believe that, but I haven't really even looked into it fully yet.

What is the question here? Each passing exam credit has a 18 month expiration date if that’s what your asking

like

Once you pass your 1st exam, you have 18 months to pass the other 3; once the 18 months pass, if you haven’t passed any one of those 3, you will have to sit for the first exam again.

This is true. I know because it happened to me. Twice. Your exams expire in 18 months if you have not passed all 4 in that window.

I don't totally get the question but I'm just gonna take a guess and say, don't worry, you'll be fine lol

You have to pass the same exam a few times? You mean you have to pass those 4 exams in a duration of 18 months otherwise you will have to start from the first exam again?

Yes. You have to pass all 4 in the 18 month window or the first credit expires

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
