No cause everyone else has CPA. It’s more of an expectation to get it

The contra point to this is that I don't have my cpa and until I mentioned I don't have it, nobody would ever have known and nobody treated me differently once they knew

Not if you’re in public accounting

No, you just expect people to have it by a few years in. If they don’t get it in time my opinion of them drops.

I've seen this from the other side - if you don't have your CPA (say after 2-3 yrs working) you may be viewed as not taking it seriously

I’ve noticed majority of my start class hasn’t passed / finished all the exams. I finished all the exams months before I started work, but nobody knows or cares. I wish it mattered more, but it seems irrelevant in public act. I think it’ll help when applying to new jobs though

No because you need it to be promoted in audit.

Big 4 no difference since it was expected. Small firm, yes since not everyone had one. And the people that couldn’t pass were bitter and unpleasant to work with.

Whats cpa

No

At Deloitte, if you don’t have cpa at senior level your title will be in-charge not senior. I feel like it’s fine not having cpa at S1-S2 level.

I have a reinforcement ML algorithm that reads historical data for a stock and tries to make a prediction on its future price. The training data is 20 years of daily indicators and the evaluation is 1 year while the testing data is also 1 year. My problem is that it takes the algorithm almost 12 hrs to make one full run through a training session on my MacBook. I also tried with google colab pro using their gpus and tpus but they’re only slightly faster. Is there any way to speed this up?

I applied to a position I was really interested in. After a week, I decided to be bold for the first time and actually contact the recruiter for the company to follow up on LinkedIn. I’ve never done that before so I thought I would try it since I was so interested. They said they will let the recruiter hiring for the position know about my interest! . Got notified that the correct recruiter looked at my profile twice after that. No contact. Then shortly I got a rejection email.

If you're a contractor and the organization still hasn't hired you on full-time, would they care if they realized you are looking for other opportunities before your contract ends? If so, would they still consider offering you a full-time time role?

My take on it is if they're not willing to commit yet 4 mos. into a 9 months stint, why should I? I realize they have a hiring freeze, but still.
