Completely different tests and not comparable. I found the cpa to be harder because I had more experience in security and information systems.

Any recommended resources for a mid-level lit associate looking to develop some skills in health care transactional work? I'm primarily a med-mal attorney and several clients have small opportunities on the MA side that I'd like to be able to assist with. The firm does not currently have a specific transactional healthcare practice group so I'd need to go out of the firm for mentorship in this area. For now, I'm just looking for good basic foundational resources.

Appreciate it!

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
