New C from MBA, is it normal to get tough feedback during your pairing? Scared my review won’t be good especially with this market

Hey Fishes,

What qualities do you judge an idea against? Assuming it already answers the brief within budget.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Looking to get into the industry how does one become apart of a startup?

Anyone have any tips for motivation? I recently switched firms and it feels like busy season never ended. I am always putting out fires because the manager doesn’t tell me about projects/issues until the day of the internal deadline. I like PA but I don’t want to work busy season hours year round
