I have been working in industry doing monthly close/payroll/etc for a few months while working on my 150 credits, hoping to go into Public after a year or so here. Any advice on finding positions/getting my name in? Do I need to have all my classes finished before applying?

Depending on which school you go to, look up any professional organizations that might have ties to the companies you want to target. My school was not a target school for many of the big 4/large regional firms and I was able to be recruited through this professional org

Look at recruiting at your school. That’s how you get in the door

Exactly this, even if you have just your resume saved with your school’s recruiting app you may have firms reaching out. That’s how I got into public accounting a year after graduating.

My sister might divorce with her husband, they have a baby of 1.5 year. We came from a divorce family and honestly never thought it would happen again - I feel powerless and I don’t know what to do.

I am also scared for the baby, I perfectly know what it means to grow up in a divorce family and as much as parents are present is not the same.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
