I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic.

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

Anyone waiting for scores today?

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

Endless anxiety and refreshing the candidate portal waiting on score release for my last test.

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA. It took me 5 years and I failed so many times, lost credit, spent thousands of dollars on different study materials, coffees, pens, etc. I can’t believe this day has finally come for me.
