Does Becker provide note templates or anything? Or any of the CPA programs? Of my entire school career, I've always been provided a note template that I can follow along while I listen to the lectures so that's how to learned to study as a result. I've been trying to create my own but I feel that it takes up a significant amount of time and is inefficient.

I don't believe so. Look at it this way - by writing out the notes yourself, you'll reinforce them even more, which should make it easier to study overall.

They have an outline section as well as a pre-annotated ebook. Like SA, I prefer to write my own notes. Takes twice as long, but information sticks better

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
