Hey all - going to be taking CAMS in December. Any study tips or online resources to focus on?

Cisco

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own?

Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

I recently heard someone talking about working remotely and having two full time jobs. It was viewed as taboo, but seemed to be something a lot of people are doing.
