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.

Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?
