I was very thankful to have gotten far out of the way first. Went FAR AUD BEC REG. Way less to worry about and I had tons of time for REG. You’ll thank yourself later.

that's what i'm hoping for! this is the order i'm doing it too. when i'm done with my free trial i'm definitely going to opt for the tutors. i feel like i need a FAR village lol

I took FAR first and I don’t regret it. Definitely helps to get it out of the way plus a lot of material relates to other chapters in the other sections.

You might want to join the Facebook group I posted. There are a lot of great resources for far in there

I agree with F1, you will definitely need a community to help you get through.

Nope, took FAR last, no regrets.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
