I just confirmed with Maryland board of accountancy that they are officially adopting the 30 month time-span for the CPA starting Jan. 10th, 2024.

Yay! (I guess?)

What does that mean? I am a CPA and 30 months is fair. 30 years ago when I passed it was less than two years of maybe two years - 30 months is okay as I was a young father with a family and a typical first accounting job 60 hours a week - why not 30 months as long as g ax you learn the material

I don’t get why they didn’t extend credit 30 months instead of until 6/30/25. Very grateful they extended, but really the 30 months only really matters if you haven’t started any exams yet. If you have credit for any exams as of 12/31 you still have the standard 18 months to pass

Maryland does extend credits on a case by case basis. Check with your state board to see if that’s possible if you need it.
I agree with you though. Extending a credit from a test taken on 12/14/23 doesn’t really help me too much.

How can one transition from a Visual/graphic designer in marketing to a product designer? And what’s it like being a product designer w a visual design background? Will you completely leave behind the graphic design world or are you still wearing many hats and still fulfilling that design and creative buzz?

This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
