Has anyone taken ISC? If so, Did you feel like Becker prepared you adequately for the test?

Studied 20 hours and got a 76 using nothing but Becker. The test I got felt more like an English test - as long as you were good with synonyms, you could figure out what the answer was.

I took ISC, I passed with an 85. While studying for the exam and even taking the exam I didn’t feel like Becker prepared me and walked out of there thinking I failed. I even saw some stuff that I don’t think Becker covered. But as I said I passed so I think you’ll be fine as long as you get through all the material and actually learn it. Also last I heard they updated the material recently so you should be good. I didn’t supplement with anything.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
