I’ve had multiple properties under-appraise, and my realtors have all said becoming an appraiser doesn’t actually take any skill, just taking a test which is why they can vary so wildly. I’m under the impression that it’s not very hard or difficult, so not sure why you believe otherwise.

It will be extremely hard to find a supervisor willing to take on a trainee.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
