Guys, I have a quick question. I am currently studying via Becker and solving problems from the same for REG. In the exam are the question format very different from what Becker has or more tougher than what it is ?

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

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!

My brother is a senior architect in McKinsey’s cloud practice. 11 YoE. Led teams and served clients in regulated industries as well. Dumb question: What would be a good role for him at Google? Thanks!

I am CA FINAL student, i have done most of my internship into audit but post qualification i want to start my career into taxation( direct & international). Any suggestions or recommendation on whether any big 4 will take a fresher.

I am working hard on my theoretical knowledge before interview.

Also preparing for Enrolled Agent USA, IRS

Looking to get into PM. Where do I start ? Is my first step the cert ?

Has anyone here exited MBB to Apple?

Question for 2020 summit:
Is there ever a perfect time to switch your role in an agency (Strat to account, account to creative etc.)? Or do you have to start from the ground up?

Question for 2020 Summit:
How do you go about having a conversation about transitioning roles to a different department? Who do you talk to and how do you navigate that conversation?

I do not have a single recognizable company or law firm or school on my resume. I’m from a boutique IP firm and now starting in house at an unknown 3,000 employee company. My dream is to end up as product counsel at F50. Is it possible or is my lack of business pedigree going to hold me back?

I want to be a consultant at Deloitte, I have experience in Product Management. Do you think going from PM to consulting is a realistic path?

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Can anyone enlighten me on the difference between CDP and Strategy? If I have plan to move to strategy what can I do ? Also is there a part of strategy that focuses in Healthcare?

Hi, please confirm what will be the work of Wealth Manager Band 1 and how much is this profile involved into core sales .. or is it a customer service profile? I am very new to banking sector so will they provide training after joining or not?

How you came into the company will define your path. That’s why you’ll never be successful switching departments.

Deloitte folks, I need help. I saw a job posting for life science strategy manager. This would be a lane change from my current role as clinical manager. I have a PhD in biology and would love to break into consulting. But not sure how.

Hi guys, a plea for help here 🙏🏻 have any founders here gotten an O-1 visa or an H1B transfer into their startup? Would greatly appreciate hearing your advice / experience over DM

I’ve worked in Management Consulting for around 5 years. Been looking for exit ops working closer to content/releases at music labels (WMG, SME, UMG) for the past year but it’s so hard to get my foot in the door without significant past music experience 😭 Anyone have any advice, or potential contacts?

Hi Fishes, hope you all are doing good. Can someone provide me information about work culture at McKinsey Knowledge Center please? I am joining them soon in a tech role. Thanks in advance.

For EY experienced hires, how long did you guys receive 2nd round/office interview notice from the initial one?

What is the protocol with talking with recruiters? I'm not pre se looking to move right now but if something with more money and flexibility regarding location opens up then I'm not opposed.

Is it wrong to talk to them about possible opportunities?

Sibling who is a director in aws referred me to a few jobs , have not heard anything in weeks. Is that typical?

Any companies pulling back on recruiting or freezing hiring altogether?

I’d love some advice on recruiting in China, Japan, Korea and Singapore. In the tech industry and for sales / tech roles. Insight into cultural nuances I’d need to be aware of and how recruitment strategy differs (ie WeChat vs LinkedIn) would be fantastic - thank you!

What looks better for mba applications... management consulting or strategy consulting?

AT&T: HBO-MAX is probably top 3 stream platforms along with netflix and disney plus. Despite this AT&T trades at a super low multiple. Is this the next glow-up a la Disney this past month? I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

Switching from .net to Java is good or bad after having 7 years of experience in .net?

This is probably a long shot but I’m looking to build a connection with someone who’s somehow related to general surgery residency programs in Houston. PGY 2 looking to relocate there for family reasons and would like to ask for an advice. Thank you

Do different companies have a methodology dedicated to technology change? Like tech implementation? Or is it specific to the product? Or high level to org change?

Can anyone please share the experience to allocate the project after joining. Experience in Java backend. Is there any tips to allocate project before joining or after joining. Thank you. @

Anybody in here trade options? I trade Iron Condors and have been having success with that but would love to hear what other people have been doing

Sell Beyond Meat? Worried there won’t be any more catalysts helping it move up anytime soon.

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.

Passed all four with one day to spare before two fell off. 🥳 best of luck to everyone

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

Becker expired. What to do? Cant extend it since i dont have an nts and dont want to pay for one yet but need to study.

For the folks who work full time and studied - how did you do it? How was your study schedule? And how did you go about studying?

So Becker was supposed to charge me $600 to update for unlimited access since my account was due to expire in March. I called them in December to make payment. Now 8months later...they reach out to me saying they only charged $35. I just checked my bank statement and they are right but i don't have $600 sitting around...What do i do? Thoughts?

I’m thinking about leaving EY before passing the CPA exams. Am I able to go ahead and get the experience form signed ahead of passing the exams? I don’t want to talk to my team after I leave.

Anyone else going crazy over the 2/3 score release? I took the exam on 1/13 and it feels like the wait is forever. Post test stress is sooo real

Anyone here taken the LSAT and the CPA? Which one is harder?

SCORES ARE UP!

Question - my 18month clock stops Oct end. I have one exam left. If I test this month end for my last exam, but the results come in Nov (and hopefully I pass) will that still expire the credit for my first exam? Or I should be good?

How's the ethics exam for VA licensure ?

Taking BEC in 3 weeks. What are some heavily tested areas to focus on? How serious should cost be taken? The Becker questions for cost are time consuming.

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?

how in the world are people passing REG?? i just got to R4 and i feel like i legitimately know nothing like I’m doing quite horribly on all MCQs so far

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

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?

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

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!
