I passed one of the exams and I just have no more motivation to keep pursuing this since I’m almost 100% sure accounting isn’t for me anymore

Why is it so hard to move out of federal consulting and into the private sector?

Hey everyone, I'm currently getting my undergraduate in Finance/Risk Management with a comm minor with hopes of law school immediately after grad. I have been recently thinking of switching to a double major of business management along with the finance. Want to practice corporate law, does anyone think this change would be worth it? Thanks!

Hello all. Thinking of switching from IT to VLSI after 4 yoe. Any suggestions?

Advice please! I’ve 20 yrs of Corp brand + advertising + marketing + strategy & 5 years in higher ed in Gallup certified Strengths creative coaching & international recruiting experience. I’m trying to get back into the Corp world and/or an agency. I’m experiencing (what I think) is ageism. I’ve had a non-traditional career path that has allowed me to develop a number of diverse skills & have recommendations from c-suites...my background is in vis com & SixSigma Greenbelt. Where do I fit in? Tx!

CPA with 4 years of experience in PA. Planning on moving out of PA. What career moves can I make and how much can I expect to get paid. I’m in the Texas area.

I have several job leads and I’ve been interviewing since March within the same company. They have been slow getting back with me and I just received a call from a job I applied for two months ago. Now that I have a potential offer elsewhere, should I stay and wait it out or go to the tech company for a new start?

Few days back I have given resign in infosys.. Today my senior manager called me and asked why you put resign.. Infosys has lots of career growth, digital specialist you can try .. we can give you onsite opportunity.
What I need to do now ?
Infosys CTC - 6 LPA
Holding offer - 14 LPA

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

Partners, do any of you regret not starting your own business?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Working on the tech side of the bank, looking to transition into finance (not IB) & came across the IBI course that helps gain skills like modeling etc. Anyone taken the course/know someone who did?

I've been waiting tables for the past 20 years. It's a decent job that has gotten me through some difficult times, but I am getting old and tired. What career path would be most advisable for me at age 40?

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies? I work in a collegial environment with plenty of opportunities to create more value, but the management level is fairly crowded and it seems the clearest path to get one of those roles is to be hired into it. What has been your experience? Thanks!

What is the minimum experience required for associate salesforce consultant?

M here who has a decent amount of random grey hairs. Rest of hair is very dark, close to black, so they stand out. Any recs on how to get rid of them?

Lawyers who began full-time work during or shortly before the pandemic...how connected do you feel to your workplace? Have you found mentors? What would you like to see change or improve as we move forward in hybrid and/or fully remote environments?

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

I have applied for several remote jobs for Elevance health in several different roles. Does anyone have experience as a nurse reviewer and know the salary range and if you work there do you enjoy it? Are the work hours flexible?

I'm watching in the air right now and it is feeling very relatable. . .

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Winds of change

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
Please Help

Feeling very defeated and shameful at the fact that BEC has been my hardest exam. Can anyone else relate?

So took FAR today, felt good about it. For the most part I felt questions were from stuff i ready and felt was easy. Now am not sure if I got everything of it but I also know1/2

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA. It took me 5 years and I failed so many times, lost credit, spent thousands of dollars on different study materials, coffees, pens, etc. I can’t believe this day has finally come for me. If you’re struggling please don’t give up and don’t compare yourself to someone else. It will eventually happen for you if you keep pushing!

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck

Break in the middle is nice to refresh your mind. Sims actually seem lengthier but give you more leeway imo.

Exam scores are up!

Passed FAR and now I’m done! 🎉

Taking FAR soon! Currently reviewing the book and wanted to see if y’all had any advice on what modules/sections to cover more then others? Been hearing Gov/NFP is a big one. Anyone care to share what the exam was like for them and what it mainly covered?

Really wish I never purchased 'Ultimate CPA Exam Guide' through Bryan Kesler. Waste of $708. I've been completely duped. Stick with official CPA materials and NINJA. "UCEG" Method is practice & review

Is it possible to study for FAR/BEC together? I accidentally booked BEC and noticed my FAR NTS is about to expire. Please advise. Jan 2 BEC and Feb28 FAR possible?

If you guys know any accounting students graduating from December 2019 - August 2021 looking for winter 2020 internships at the NY Office, send me a pm and I can get you connected to a recruiter!

Becker expired. What to do? Cant extend it since i dont have an nts and dont want to pay for one yet but need to study.

CA shutting down prometric, just received an email that my December date is going to be canceled.

I've taken all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?

How much are you expecting in raise/promotion or exit opps for having the CPA title and credentials?

FAR, what a pain..that’s all

Do you think that I will get job offers after I pass the CPA exam? Not one compony will even give me a chance because I don’t have experience, even though I have passed some of the exams already.
