Compared to other countries equivalents, the CPA exam in the US is a joke.
In Germany you need at least 3 years of work experience in Audit/public accounting, before being qualified to sit the exams and act as a "cpa". In the big 4, passing the exams, will guarantee an instant promotion to Manager. The exam is considered to be the hardest professional/post grad exam in the country

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Sr Digital Analyst with MBA and 4 Years experience ?

Had been working as a BA/PM role at a financial firm for 3.5 years and decided to leave corporate to join my family’s small business with the mentality I’d take things over. It’s been a little over a year and I’ve come to the realization that it’s not for me. Im looking to transition myself back to IT/Tech, but am feeling apprehensive in getting the attention of recruiters with the industry switch. Any advice from anyone that’s been in a similar situation?

He also thinks immigration will be a big hassle since I’ve already used my 3 years of OPT. What should I do?

How's working at Klick?

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

I feel like we’re changing tools on every engagement and I’m always burning through trainings trying to master one only to keep it swapped for something else. Any recommendations for books/trainings to help my understanding of the underlying methods of data science instead of just learning the tools?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

How do I keep my watch from falling down my wrist when I walk? Is it normal for it to be able to slide a little?

An additional link off (already a half one) makes it indent my wrist, so running out of options that way. First time with a metal bracelet
