I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would an MBA be required to switch from Product Management within LS/biotech to Tech (faang or other b2c)?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

The thing I struggle with the most on a project is being able to quickly understand the business process of the clients across different industries. Any tips or resources I can use to improve that?

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

Welcome all! Feel free to add anyone in here :)

Just did biometrics today in NJ. How long should I expect to wait for EAD after this step?

Im interested in applying for the Barclays technology analyst summer internship role. However, the fear of being rejected is impeding me to actually go for it. I would really appreciate if someone from a similar role can have a look at my resume. It would be great if you could provide me with a referral too. Completely understand if that’s not in the scope :) any means of help is appreciated!

Has it become common practice for leaders of a team to make less salary than their direct reports?

New to this. Is it typical for a firm to ask a staff to do the work of a senior for a year to show that they are ready for a promotion?

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but do you charge tax on your freelance, 1099 invoices? Trying to accommodate for taxes being taken out and inflation 😪 would love to know if this is common practice - I’m in NYC. Thanks!

Moved to Dallas a few months ago, anyone else think it’s strange that so many neighborhoods use rear entry garages and people drive through alleys to get to them? Never saw these growing up.

Does anyone know what vaccinations are looking like? Where to get them and when they’ll be available?

Hi new to dfw area looking to buy a house. How’s the commute downtown from Frisco/McKinney area?

I have 10 years combined experience in Comms and Marketing. I plan to transition into Product Marketing. I am considering a role for a Product Marketing Specialist at FAANG. What are expected salary ranges for an L5 or L6? Lots of data for Product Managers and Product Marketing Managers, but I'm assuming "Specialist " is a step below management

Hello Amazonians,

I am currently interviewing for Business Analyst role for Amazon, cleared 1st round which lasted for an hour. They have asked me to confirm availability for a full day. Can you please help me with what kind of interview rounds i can expect?

My contract is ending 12/31/22 and can’t be extended legally according to our CFO. Worked in various increasingly responsible roles at the same organization as a FT employee in IT for 17 years and then took a buyout and chilled doing side gigs for 18 months then came back as temporary contract staff for the last 3.8 years as Business Analyst and Technical Writer. Curious to know if I’m being unreasonable in expecting my next Senior BA role to pay in the $110-130k range in the DC Metro Area.

Can you please tell companies name which uses azure for their data engineering projects

i failed for the fifth time on AUD. Somehow I went from a 67 to a 63. I am so pissed because now I have to retake BEC as well. Help! Any tips or words of wisdom appreciated.

How important is QBI for REG?

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

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?

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!

Got a 74 on FAR. Got a 73 last time I took it. Just kill me now. Ready to give up on this process. Going to lose credit for AUD now with REG not far behind. I studied so hard and really thought I

Taking AUD in 2 weeks. Got a 70 on Becker mock exam. Any advice I should have for these last 2 weeks, would be really appreciated

Jusr took 2nd practice exam for far on becker and got a 68, exam is next week... what should i be doing other than hammering mcqs?

Can anyone please advise on the process of obtaining a license in MA.
I passed my exam and need an experience certificate from my former employer but they want me to send over a state application form which they would fill out but Massachusetts does not have ang such form.
Has anyone faced such issue before?

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

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Just took FAR for the fourth time today 😂 LOTS of not for profit questions and even sims were not for profit!!!!! Definitely more than 5-15% Becker said!!! I got like 60% was based on NFP!

Taking my REG retake in one week. Got a 71 the last time. I purchased ninja and was planning on drilling MCQ, sims, and reading ninja notes for the next week. Do you guys think this will be sufficient?

I’m starting to study for the CPA exams. Do you think I need to watch the lectures?

Is BEC doable in 2.5 weeks while working full time - 40 hours? I plan on dedicating 3 hours each weekday and 12 hours each weekend day. I most likely will also have a bit of time during working hours.

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

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!

To NYC members: Anyone here planning on sitting for FAR in December or January and would like to join a weekly (or biweekly) study group on the UES?
