Can anyone share their study schedule for FAR?

FAR is my first exam. I plan to start studying 3/1 (25-30 hours/week) and have the exam scheduled for 6/26. Becker’s study schedule seems so....fast?? I also have the final review books.

I did 2/3 hrs m-f evenings, about 6-8 on sat and as much as I could sun which averaged 5 ish. I have a husband and toddler so I studied whenever I could. Took about 2/3 months. I accepted not mastering each section but more just focused on exposure and get as good as I could in the time I allotted myself. Also used Becker - mostly reading and the questions/sim. Passed, barely, but nobody asked what you scored once you pass 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️. Working on audit now and that seems to be more difficult for me 😔. Good luck! You got this!!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
