I'm planning on using my 5k senior promotion bonus to buy the CPA review course and NTSs. What's a pathetic way to enjoy my bonus!

Great investment boo!

1. Get your bonus first.
2. Pay for materials with a credit card for points.
3. Pay off said credit card when charges clear (you don't need to wait until the end of the billing cycle).
4. I'm not tax, so I don't know this answer, see if these materials apply to education credits in taxes (Lifetime learning credit).
5. Be proud for making a good investment in yourself that will pay dividends down the road.
6. At least take yourself out for a nice steak dinner for all your effort. And yes, get dessert. Good luck!

Probably becker since I get 50% discount as a return student. I passed 3 parts with Becker, so I think it works for me. I just need to come up with a better study plan since two parts expired already.

Read as good investment into your future (I did the same thing).

Can you just ask one of the 1st/2nd years if you can use their materials?

I agree with EY 1, that's actually a great way to invest your bonus. It'll pay way bigger rewards in the future if you compare it to not passing the CPA!

Also, did you complete majority of the parts in Becker. If you can prove you did 90% of the hw.. they can do the Becker promise and it's $195 per part..

We can argue with the IRS saying the CPA license is required for promotion, as such it qualifies as "improve job skills " 😉

Returning student/competitor Savings

If you are eligible for either of these discounts, please call to enroll: 1-877-CPA-EXAM. Returning student/competitor savings cannot be combined with any other Becker program, discount, offer, or promo code.

OP, what is this 50% discount that you mentioned as a return student ? How does it work? I might have to buy a section again for my last exam

Deloitte 1, I'm not sure about asking a first year. What if we're preparing for the same part? Also I feel that I'll be obliged to write a good review if he/she is working with me.

All the people are working their ass off but I hear PIP is only for termination.

Should I also work hard or start looking for other jobs?
Will I be in bench for other projects or directly terminated with 3 months of pay? 🫠

Hello all!

I am a 33 y/o single female that works in Louisiana for the state health dept. I really enjoy my job and the autonomy I have but am only making $55K/yr—however, I do not want to leave this job anytime soon due to being in the PSLF program. Negotiating pay with state government really isn’t a thing.

With all of this free time I have outside of my job that doesn’t bring much stress, I need help navigating a side hustle or remote job. (Continued in comments)

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?
