Has anybody ever left their job to study the CPA or another professional exam full time? If so, could you share your experience and how you were able to re-enter the workforce later? I am thinking about it. Married so could probably survive financially. Would appreciate warnings as well if it is a bad idea. Would prefer to just move out of Big 4, but also don’t want to take a job I will leave within a year. I just feel I’d personally do better studying full time. Some can juggle not me tbh.

I’m on my first work trip since getting sober. I was scared that this would be one long trigger and I’d spend the whole trip either on the phone with my sober friends or sneaking drinks at the hotel bar.

But I’m here, and I’m fine. I found out one of my colleagues got sober too and it’s so much easier with them here. I guess Bill W was onto something.

Anyway very grateful to God and to all the drunks and addicts on here. One day at a time

Anyway to standout to firms when headhunters send resume to firms? I’m in contact with all of the leading headhunters (e.g., CPI, ratio, amity, hsp, DSP) that handle most of the top consultant friendly firms, and they email about ops and send my resume, but I just get a limited amount of interviews. I know LEK is not MBB so I know that is definitely a headwind, but anything I could do to try and get interviews? Thanks in advance

Question for other VCs, are you guys doing much financial modelling?

What is it like elsewhere?
