I liked i-75. He's a professor and his videos break down the material as if you're learning accounting for the first time. I like becker, but sometimes they assume the student already has a basic understanding of certain concepts. I had a trash professor for intermediate accounting, so I when I started using becker I couldn't understand a lot of concepts because my foundational knowledge wasn't there.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke.

The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
