CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I have a SQL assessment to complete with Home Depot for a Senior Analyst position for Inventory Solutions department and a little nervous for it as I have not touched SQL in over a year and a half since my previous role. Does anyone happen to have any tips or insight on the assessment? What functions are commonly asked, etc. thanks in advance. Looking at YouTube and LinkedIn tutorials at the moment to freshen up.

Is there any channel/page where the data science interviews are updated.

Hi All,
It’s been a week since I last heard from pwc in regards to my interview. I gave them my availability for next week but I’m on holiday and few of the days won’t be at home. Shall I follow up with recruiter and make them aware that I’m still waiting for something to be scheduled. Really don’t want to keep waiting…

Does anyone mind looking over my resume and giving some feedback?

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

My practice got super busy after the pandemic. I have had a waitlist and been incredibly busy. It’s been stressful, but I have been grateful for business & to be helping people through a crazy time. This fall, I’ve noticed things slowing down and I don’t really know why. Has anyone else seen any similar trends (or know what might be going on)? TIA.

Hello all!

Any thoughts on interview process, compensation, culture etc. at ADQ in Abu Dhabi?

All feedback would be helpful!

Thanks :)

M/F would you allow for some to buy you nice things you just meet?

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

I’ve recently become a solo general counsel win CA. My company has facilities split between AZ and CA. Does anyone have thoughts on benefits of gaining bar membership in AZ as well?

How do you decide how much notice to give when you're leaving a firm to go to a competitor? I know that no matter how much notice I give, they'll walk me out the day I give it. I don't want to be in limbo for 2-4 weeks while my licenses are still held by the former firm before I can start at the new one. But I also don't want to burn a bridge by resigning effective immediately. Would appreciate some insight from other W2 advisors who have moved firms before.

I feel guilty anytime I have downtime and am not working or learning. Actually, it's more anxiety than anything. Is this how they suck us in? With guilt and anxiety?

It's March, and I have done a lot of seminars in Jan and Feb. I've gotten a few clients but would like to increase AUM drastically! Any books, sites or advice on what I can do for marketing?

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Anyone worked for State Farm? A recruiter contacted me abt taking over a book of business in my area. I am wondering if I could do that and also be RIA?

Any suggestions to find moments of silence/solitude during the work day? Can�t use meetings rooms and the place is like a wall st trading floor. Noise cancelling headphones?

Has anyone hired a coach? If you have, who did you use and did you think it was beneficial?

Do you ever find this industry to be superficial? I mean, I've made some great connections along the way, but a lot of the culture is just not for me. People seem to care about the wrong things

13 years experience and no college education. Best way to go about earning my BA and taking the CFP?

I do not prospect. I open accounts while slamming a revolving door.

If I have a small growing practice (~$70k), is there any viable set up that allows me to continue growing my practice and get paid to help service someone else’s or pipe dream?! How much could I earn?

It's appalling how bad new associate excel/ppt skills are. There needs to be a way of judging 'readiness' during the interview process.

I'm currently of the humble opinion that your average CPA is essentially brain dead on the topics of strategic partnerships and reciprocal referral relationships.

I have an investment idea. Would be great for banks and investors to speculate, but it involves creating a market for the product. Who should I approach first banks or investors?

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Need tips & encouragement for how you have gotten out of a slump in the past. I am 3.5 yrs in and have seen my practice growing (some quarters better than others ), but Q219 has been really tough.

Has anyone set up a template follow-up email?

I have a client who needs a 401k, or a solo retirement account w loan options. When I was at UBS/Ameriprise, it was no issue but now it seems tougher to find a firm that does solo 401k as a RIA's.
