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

Bit of background: I recently turned 25, have been an auditor now for 4 years (same firm from intern to staff to senior), and have given my firm and my clients 110% of me at all times.
Lately, I’ve been wanting to quit altogether (burning out) and try out a career that has always been more of a “dream”. I can’t be the only one feeling this way so I’m reaching out to my people - is this just a weird quarter-life crisis or is it actually valid & reasonable?
