is it safe to take cpa exam now? Does the test center require mask? Has anyone taken exams recently? Please share your experience.

Will an MBA set me apart? I have a BS in Marketing from top 15 undergraduate business program with a 3.8 gpa, 2 years work experience (3 by the time I’d enroll), and scored in the 63rd percentile on the gmat. This qualifies me for an average business school (ranked below ~50). My goal is to move into a management position within the next 5 years and eventually move into a director or c-suite role. At your companies, do most upper-level marketing employees have an MBA? Is it from a top school?

What’s the most efficient way to get a functional associate cert for SuccessFactors Employee Central? Is their course the best way to learn it?

I got admitted to hospital since I was unwell. How can I apply for cashless medical claims as I downloaded one form from general medical insurance plan. Can someone suggest me

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

COVID led me to leave a T2 consulting firm with only six months on paper to show. Really been having trouble figuring out what I can pitch myself for. (Pre-MBA background is hospitality, eek!) Ideas?

What kind of exit opportunities are there for tax senior? Looking into getting an MBA. Any thoughts?

Looking to take the CISA exam. I have over 5 years of audit experience. How long do you think it’d take to study? Also, what study material should I use? Any good boot camps you’d recommend?

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

I was thinking to go for MBA program provided by EY at hult

Hi Guys,
I am working as a Digital Strategy and Transformation Consultant in one of the "big" tech companies and was working in the same role in one of the major analytics firm previously.

I am now trying to move to Product Management and wanted to seek your guidance. What would be the best way to go about it? Should I do some certifications or should I apply for the jobs, hopefully land one and then learn on the job. Please guide.

About me: MBA from one of IIM ABC

My father had a sever case of Covid and he made it out successfully. I’m very grateful for this. Close to a year down the line, I’m finding that he is having severe memory loss issues and can’t remember significant details. Has anyone experienced or is experiencing this? How have y’all dealt with it?

How is the hiring scenario of MBB at ISB? How many years of experience in a candidate are they willing to accept (assuming relevant pre mba role, for instance, say in ZS)?

Has anyone had a nurse state the assumed sex at 12 week ultrasound? The nurse is fairly sure it's a boy, and I'm wondering how accurate her guess is based on a close look of the genitals. Confirmation won't happen until 20 week appt, too far away!

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

Advertising Week Question!
Any events this year? Last year we got to watch Alessia Cara w/o needing to have ticket for Ad Week. Is it worth going to? It’s kinda pricy, but I’m looking to network more

Tonight is hard because tomorrow I will be attending a funeral for a former student. He died by suicide.

5 years ago I read him Magic Treehouse books.

I remember how excited he was to meet his behavior goal for the first time.

I was hoping to see him in 2 years at the HS.

Hi Fishes,
What should be the salary for Manager / Sr Manager having 14+ yoe in project/product service operations? I am at 32 lpa which I think is quite low having worked with top consulting firms for close to 12 years.

Anybody interested in opportunities at ZS? DM me for referrals.

How’s the axtria compensation? The HR reached out saying we can’t pay more than 30% in hike but I wouldn’t agree on that. Just wanted to know if they’ll repent after interviews or is it a hard and fast rule?

Has everyone really lost faith in LTC? It seems that nobody is talking about it, and it’s not on anyone’s top holdings list (on FB) 🧐

Hello All ..from which app or website I can check my public holidays in Pwc AC?

Deloitte UK - does anyone know the salary band for Manager role in Technology and a Senior Manager in Technology Risk Management? A rough idea please?

Just found out, for SA2 with same roles/responsibilities (same cohort grid), there seems to be about 20k-30k difference between PwC Digital and PwC Labs. I thought we were One P&T??!

Has optum called employees back mandatorily?

Am I the only one who fears a third world war is among us? I've been studying the circumstances that led to WW1 and WW2, and let me tell you, we're not as far as they were. I hope the better judgment of people avoids such a catastrophic outcome.

Hi ,
Do we need to disclose whole offer letter to CT Hr ? Or first page where designation and name is there and salary structure are enough?? If i show whole offer letter as it's a confidential will be there any action on me?

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

How to find motivation to study again?

CA shutting down prometric, just received an email that my December date is going to be canceled.

FAR on Saturday - Absolutely terrified. I feel like there’s so much I don’t know how to do and idk how to handle not knowing everything.

SCORES ARE UP!

Anyone take far recently? Took today and have no clue how it went tbh. Sims were pretty toils - felt like I blindly went through them

Anyone here taken the LSAT and the CPA? Which one is harder?

So Becker was supposed to charge me $600 to update for unlimited access since my account was due to expire in March. I called them in December to make payment. Now 8months later...they reach out to me saying they only charged $35. I just checked my bank statement and they are right but i don't have $600 sitting around...What do i do? Thoughts?

Hi all, I’m confused with the NTS and test deadlines. I asked for my first NTS on 4/5/2021 and got it until 6/14/2021. Do I have 18 months to pass exams since April or June ? Thanks

Studying for FAR and it gives me so much anxiety. There’s just so much information. I’m taking notes and reading. I don’t plan on listening to the lectures but I feel like I’m moving so slow. Advice?

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

Is there a way to download the pre-anoted notes?

Do I really need the lectures (Becker) to pass the exams? I really just want to do everything else besides that.

Taking AUD in 2 weeks. Got a 70 on Becker mock exam. Any advice I should have for these last 2 weeks, would be really appreciated

Failed REG by 2 points... I feel defeated and honestly don’t know if I can do this anymore

Finally feel the need and drive to pass this damn exam once and for all .. far may 25 th any tips ?

Becker expired. What to do? Cant extend it since i dont have an nts and dont want to pay for one yet but need to study.

For FAR, what do most people think is a realistic number of modules to get through per day/week while working full time. For me, the hour lectures generally take up to 2-3 weekdays to get through lecture, MCQ, Skills, and Sims. By the time the weekend comes, I’m exhausted and need a break, but this seems too slow.

Anyone use SOLELY Ninja for BEC? What was your study time and score? Worth it?

I've taken all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?
