I love the fast pace of start-up PMM, but the constant pivots are starting to wear me thin. Do the "big company" PMMs out there actually find things more predictable, or is the chaos universal?

Big companies can absolutely be chaotic, but having lived from maturing startup to Fortune 600, big companies are 100% more predictable, driven by the demands of quarterly earnings reports.

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.
