I left after 13 months, doesn't apply to your query but I was unassigned like 7 months of it. Left because it wasn't for me, not that I was better than anyone. Anyone who can sit for 16 hrs a day 5-6 days a week staring at an excel screen is a stronger man than I tbh.

While I didn't leave myself, I am a manager who has seen it happen a few times. Generally those are people who thought they better than all of the people they worked with when in reality they really weren't. Management wasn't too sad to see them go.

A staff in my office left after a few months. The general vibe of everyone has been annoyance. She wasn't holding up well against the learning curve, so it wasn't going to be a good fit long term. But there were a lot of hours effectively lost trying to coach her up to her peer level.

You become the butt of all the jokes. For at least a year.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
