I just finished a Manhattan course and am 2 months away from my exam. How many questions should I be doing a day? And how many hours should I be studying per week? I have an idea but want to hear what others did.

Do you feel prepared now? If so, try loving your test up so things are fresh in your mind

Honestly no. There’s a lot of content I’m still unfamiliar with. MP preps you for a solid 600 but I’m aiming for 700+. My current plan is to do 2 week sprints of about 12 hours of studying per week followed by a practice test at the end of the 2nd week.

OP are you only using Manhattan? Take the GMAC practice tests (at least 1). Manhattan quant is notoriously more challenging than actual GMAT problems — great for studying, but not as great for having an accurate idea of your future score

Thanks for this! Definitely will do.

I don’t know whether I want to pursue Auditing or Tax. I’ve done 3 summer internships with Deloitte and am currently in a tax internship with a local boutique firm. I realized I hate doing individual returns and much rather work with financial statements. I’m not sure if this means Auditing would be a better fit for me because I enjoy analyzing and working within financials. I would honestly just pick the more financially rewarding career with better post-big 4 options. Any thoughts?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Hi Fishes,

I am working as SAP CX Developer with 4.8 YOE. I am so confused on choosing the best company. Need your advice. Please guide me among these two which organization is better to join Shell India Markets Ltd or SAP India pvt Ltd.
Shell SBC India - 21.6 CTC ( 18.6 Fixed + 3 Perfomance Pay/Var)
SAP India - 18 CTC ( 16.2 Fixed + OTB(Var) 1.8 ) + 3L JB .

I heard SAP will pay 100% or even more OTB/var but Shell Var is based on performance pay and Company Profits.
