Hello friend. what got me through my studies were building habits that were for the long run if you will. Organizing your notes will help you bring about the attitude of being tidy. A tidy mind will be essential in your career because there is so much to do. Another is practical application, after studying apply what you learned to real world things. Lastly, reduce distractions and less social media.

Thank you very much FA1!! :) this was very helpful. Did you mostly organize notes with headings/Colours/key formulas on sides? Was there anything you practiced to help with focus?

Thanks again!!

Hi! You have to know what learning method/style really works for you. As for me, I am a mix of visual, auditory, reading, and writing. Seems exhausting right? But trust me, once you've figured out your learning style, it will definitely help you in the long run.

I would get a referral if you can. It will really help.

Thank you, do you mean a tutor?

If it's okay to shift. Could you please help me with the steps for preparation? I will really appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot.

Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

Hey friends! So I left PwC (risk assurance, did a bit of consulting) about 4 years ago for industry, and have been working in supply chain ever since for a major retailer. Recently, a recruiter from Protiviti reached out to talk to me about open roles in supply chain consulting, and I’m trying to decide if this would be a good move or not. I know it wouldn’t be quite the same as the hours as big 4, but I don’t know enough to be sure if it’s the right fit. Any advice?

Does the answer change if the person has no desire to become partner?
