Is that you Z?

that's a long word, "advantageous" you must be a wunderkind or something

Yea I agree with EY 1 , unless your going to a great school that can give you access to a great networking pool and therefore help you get a job idk if it's worth. If you have you Cpa already and want to do it then fuck it just do it.

Banking or bust

Why did you Graduate without a MBA?

If you want out of PA it's a great choice to change careers. I don't agree it has to be top 15. Obviously it would be nice but I know lots of people who went to non top 15 schools and got great jobs. Top 15 you will def get paid better but you have to weigh the cost out. 2 year programs are expensive!

Lessbereal top 20 maybe 25 or bust ... but again depends on why you're getting it. Had a friend get hers from an unaccredited school just so she could have the knowledge and improve her business and that was enough for her. Her salons in great shape now actually so "depends "

OP don't Ghost us

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Is it possible to land a financial analyst position with only 6 months of experience in audit? I tried to stick it out w/ B4 but I don’t think I can do it anymore. I’m interested in duties like budgeting/forecasting, but haven’t come across very many entry level positions. I’m mostly seeing entry level jobs that are called “financial analyst” but include duties like JE/reconciliations. I don’t have SQL/Tableau experience either... so not sure if I just need more experience in a diff role first?
