I’m a senior in FAAS, did audit first at another firm. Came so close to cpa several times, but work took over and I lost credit to literally all of my exams twice. I’m over it, and I honestly don’t...

Know what to do. I’m thinking to ride this out until next year, but then I don’t know what to do. I can’t be promoted to manager, and I’m not sure I really want to do industry accounting. What opportunities should I look into that would value my experience, but not force me to do cpa. I’d consider other certifications, but I think I’m ok with defeat here.

Just quit accounting altogether. You are in FAAS... ie special ops of former auditors for technical accounting. You should be able to pass the cpa with a little disciplined studying. Take a LOA for a couple months and knock it out.

Really can’t afford to take loa to be honest. I want to get into business development. Been networking to try to make it happen, but it’s tough

Hi guys,
I am working since a year in my first job and I don't feel like I'm getting to learn much here or see any opportunities for growth. I am thinking about learning Salesforce development and applying for specific Salesforce jobs.
Either that or I will join another company as java developer.
Which of the two has better scope in the future, java development or Salesforce?
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
