Anyone pass all four parts of the CPA exam in less than 30 months but greater than 18 months? NASBA passed UAA Model Rule 5-7 amendment in April to expand this to 30 months but not yet adopted at state levels. Has anyone tried to retroactively appeal this to see if their old parts count if passed within 30 consecutive months?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Which companies have best WLB, least stressed DS/DA roles? I’ve been suffering from some immunology issues and stress from work would worsen it, therefore I want to move to a company/role with good benefit (esp. healthcare) and great WLB (little chance of PIP, etc). Doesn’t have to be high-paying, as long as it can support my life (single) and long-term medical cost. Thanks in advance.
