How much time should I set aside for FAR? This will be my first time taking it and I’m working as well. Not crazy hours since we aren’t in tax busy season...

AICPA recommends 120-150 hours total. You want to fluctuate up or down based on years out of college, GPA and anything you know about past performance on the exams. Break the total number of hours down into weekly goals and add in time for final review. It’s going to be a balance because you don’t want the duration to go too long- eg 12 weeks- or you run the risk of forgetting the material you covered early on
