I'm a new CPA and need 20 CPE credits before 12/31. My job does not require me to be a CPA, but my boss is supportive. I find most of the free CPE webcasts through the big 4 to be either (cont'd)

a) irrelevant to my job/industry or b) incredibly boring or c) both. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to find relevant/interesting CPE? My industry is real estate.

There should be some relevant CPE on real estate at the pwc website cfodirect. Also check your local cpa chapter meetings. They tend to be more non big four related.

AICPA

Don't you have a grace period? Or are you past that?

I guess not? When I got it it told me I needed 20 credits by the end of the year. Thanks for suggestions!

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team.

Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
