Anyone interested in forming a study group to prep for the exam?

Me!

Actually studying now at the moment. Use the study bank. Any material that you feel you’re not the best in - take a read of the textbook. Get familiar with how they ask their questions and put in like 3 months of constant studying.

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
