Dont try to study at home, go somewhere else to study.

EY1 is right. You need to do some soul searching. No one on here can tell you what to do. You need to want it for yourself

He is saying that will be your cap. Just quit going out and take things more serious next few months. Study at least 1-2 hrs a night and at least 4-6 sat/sun

Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.

My company was just acquired by a private equity firm. We’ve been around for 25+ years and have been a public company. They say “business as usual” for now, and I feel like the product I work in is pretty safe. I also received direct, positive feedback from the company’s COO surrounding my leadership. I recognize there can be positives and negatives to this type of acquisition, but I’m curious if anyone has any tips, feedback, personal experiences, etc. they can share?

I am an Indian CPA and pursuing my level 2 Cfa. I have worked with family office and Swf and have relocated to Vancouver. Any tips on where to begin my job search

Anyone know what “premium cash pay” means on a check? I randomly just got 717$ on my check unexpectedly for that allocation.

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
