Going to be taking Becker soon for the CPA exam- but feel that everything I learned in college is over my head. Becker good about re teaching concepts or is it more of just a refresher?

I learned more from Becker than school. I also drank a lot less when I was studying for the CPA than when I was in college. There may be a correlation there.

Becker helped me pass my grad school accounting classes. Was better than the profs at getting the core concepts across.

Wait so I have to drink less to study? Damn that's going to be hard, because since starting my career in public accounting there's a direct correlation between more drinking and work

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
