Hi Everybody,
I work as a Financial Analyst in a Retail Company in Canada. I started to pursue CPA recently and I have long term goal to relocate to US eventually (haven’t figured that out yet). Somebody advised me to stop pursuing CPA Canada and to start pursuing CPA US of I want to relocate in the future. Also it is easier as compared to Canada. My question is has anyone done this before? If you have clarity, can you tell me the pros and cons? Thank you!

What are the real skills to learn to get a leg up for a new data job? Not the wishlists you see on career websites.

I am looking for a new job. I currently work with product data and I utilize vlookup and trim functions more than anything else. Including SQL queries that are already written for my needs. It's the same everyday and I'm done. I'm a quick learner - only earning 53k a year.

Will most companies teach me what I need to know or should I go and find skills to learn on my own?

Pivoting from visual to product design, & have a case study interview to collaborate with team members on a hypothetical problem. What should I expect? Advice? Tips? TY!

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Is it possible to get a remote job in the US but be based in Canada? Not sure of the legalities but the salaries here are much lower than those in the US...

New to fishbowl😊
Excited to DM Experts to learn more from them...
I hope you guys help me to get 12 likes.
Thank you in advance dosto🤞

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA.

If you’re struggling please don’t give up and don’t compare yourself to someone else. It will eventually happen for you if you keep pushing!

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
