Hmmm I am terrible at politics and never got promoted when working in industry / at startups but did get promoted in consulting. It’s political yes but has the potential to be less so than industry roles. Either that or I learned how to be good at politics , which seems fairly doubtful.

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.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
