What's the price. I don't want junk mail

It’s pretty easy if you’ve got a few months of experience. Just use the book and test bank

Honestly just do literally as many of the database questions as possible, and google stuff you don’t know, and study the answers. I never bought the exam book. I studied for like 3 Saturday’s. If you have any SOC 2 experience like I did, that’s about all you should need. If you don’t, I’d devote a couple weeks to study. All MC and you find out right away. MUCH easier than CPA. Good luck!

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
