Yeah, I used it because I was pretty much a beginner and it helped enormously. Goes from the basics to very in-depth. Yeah you have lifetime access

FMVA felt worth it. They make you buy a year subscription so you can take courses outside of that (i.e. the BIDA courses also looked useful).

It's definitely a useful basis for understanding modeling principles.

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave. Should I go back to undergrad and get a computer science degree? I honestly want a career where I could at least potentially make 600 k per year. I feel in accounting it’s near impossible. Additionally, I’m sick of people looking down on me. My gf is getting a PhD in a social science and gets way more respect then me. I am 25 also. HELP

New York folks:

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.
