You got this!! ❤️ And let me tell you - I tried the practice exam 1 week before and got 68 on Far and was panicking bad lol but turned out I got 76 on FAR and passed :) so you never know!!! You’ve put the hard work in it and now you just need to be calm and believe in yourself.

Eventually you will pass! Like EVENTUALLY you will have these 3 letters after your name it’s just a matter of time! Good luck studying and don’t forget to eat well and exercise! It’s an important exam but not the end of the world!! Best of luck!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade.

I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Has anyone lost motivation and just stopped studying for the CPA? How Did you get back into studying? I became depressed while studying and I just gave up.

And it needs to change.

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event
