Feeling very defeated and shameful at the fact that BEC has been my hardest exam. Can anyone else relate?

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

Anyone else having one of those days where you just can’t seem to do anything right? I’m dropping balls left and right here

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Stocks markets are crashing, crypto prices are cut in half. What does everyone think on where the consulting businesses are headed?

If I join cognizant 2-3 days prior to joining date, will there be any joining bonus ?

Does anyone want to be my M&A coach? Will pay.

Anyone interested in a side hustle . Holidays are slowly approaching

Smile whenever you come into your office. The work we do makes life easier for thousands of professionals worldwide, so it should not be taken lightly.

Does KPMG send you a rejection email? Did my last round last week Friday and haven’t heard back. Followed up with the recruiter and she said she’s following up with the team

Do you ever regret your career choice? I’m beginning to realize I may not have wanted to be a mechanical engineer after all. What other career options are there for me with my current degree?

Pay for teachers in Arizona is so awful 😭. I always wanted to teach in my local community but frankly I can't afford it. I want to move to another state where comp is better but I'm not positive where. What do you make & where are you located? For context I'm a 3rd year 2nd grade teacher.

Did it happen with someone in the last quarter that although you got nominated by L1 for band progression but the promotion did not happen?

Name one thing every engineer should have.

Anyone work for Wells Fargo Corporate and Investment Banking? Have upcoming interviews for two teams (industrials and healthcare) for corporate banking analyst positions and wanted to know what kind of questions to expect. Thanks!

Hii...any updates on work from office for pune location in assurance??

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck

Taking my REG retake in one week. Got a 71 the last time. I purchased ninja and was planning on drilling MCQ, sims, and reading ninja notes for the next week. Do you guys think this will be sufficient?

Haven’t practiced a single Sim for REG and test in 4 days...am I screwed?

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

Can anyone please advise on the process of obtaining a license in MA.
I passed my exam and need an experience certificate from my former employer but they want me to send over a state application form which they would fill out but Massachusetts does not have ang such form.
Has anyone faced such issue before?

Jusr took 2nd practice exam for far on becker and got a 68, exam is next week... what should i be doing other than hammering mcqs?

How much are you expecting in raise/promotion or exit opps for having the CPA title and credentials?

Just started studying for audit and there’s a small section about intro to excel/data prep in excel and was wondering if this was part of the new material change? Just wanna know if I can skip this section. Thanks!

Just took FAR for the fourth time today 😂 LOTS of not for profit questions and even sims were not for profit!!!!! Definitely more than 5-15% Becker said!!! I got like 60% was based on NFP!

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

Do you think that I will get job offers after I pass the CPA exam? Not one compony will even give me a chance because I don’t have experience, even though I have passed some of the exams already.

To NYC members: Anyone here planning on sitting for FAR in December or January and would like to join a weekly (or biweekly) study group on the UES?

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

I’m starting to study for the CPA exams. Do you think I need to watch the lectures?

Is BEC doable in 2.5 weeks while working full time - 40 hours? I plan on dedicating 3 hours each weekday and 12 hours each weekend day. I most likely will also have a bit of time during working hours.

Break in the middle is nice to refresh your mind. Sims actually seem lengthier but give you more leeway imo.

Endless anxiety and refreshing the candidate portal waiting on score release for my last test.
