I’ve been struggling to pass any of the CPA exams. Ideally would have liked to pass before all the 2024 changes but that didn’t happen for me. I hear FAR and REG are dropping topics which is good I guess but BEC (or discipline) is going to be harder and the score release is only once a quarter. Been feeling really discouraged and overwhelmed. If there are any positives about the changes/new exams in 2024 that might help to keep me going and not give up, I’d really appreciate it. Please share! 🙏🏻

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Hi! In the process of switching from South FloRida to PA again to work at a hospital but making the same money? The switch would open me to be closer to family for support and the have a nursing prog,since the benefits are attractive and I’m looking forward to the future growth. The thing is they claim i only have experience of 7 years and offering me less than what I make now. I wanna go, but any suggestions on this negotiation cause I would still need to pay for a place to live and expenses.

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

Are you all talking to recruiters? What are they saying about the market, signing bonuses, etc.?

I'm a new consultant (< 6 months) and I use an Android (phone is a few years old now) but was thinking of getting a new one. My question to you 🐠 is should I go with an iPhone/is it weird to not have an iPhone if you're a consultant or is it okay to stick with an Android? Never came across as an issue to me but was just curious if I'm the odd guy out

I think I've moved almost entirely from newspapers to newsletters. Media changes!

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

FAR, what a pain..that’s all

Taking FAR soon! Currently reviewing the book and wanted to see if y’all had any advice on what modules/sections to cover more then others? Been hearing Gov/NFP is a big one. Anyone care to share what the exam was like for them and what it mainly covered?

Best course of action with BEC? Using Becker and the first two chapters are terrible...

If you guys know any accounting students graduating from December 2019 - August 2021 looking for winter 2020 internships at the NY Office, send me a pm and I can get you connected to a recruiter!

Can anyone please advise on the process of obtaining a license in MA.

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.

What are your thoughts on Wiley? Pros/cons?

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck

Endless anxiety and refreshing the candidate portal waiting on score release for my last test.

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

Really wish I never purchased 'Ultimate CPA Exam Guide' through Bryan Kesler. Waste of $708. I've been completely duped. Stick with official CPA materials and NINJA. "UCEG" Method is practice & review

Do you think that I will get job offers after I pass the CPA exam? Not one compony will even give me a chance because I don’t have experience, even though I have passed some of the exams already.

Anyone waiting for scores today?

Just started studying for audit and there’s a small section about intro to excel/data prep in excel and was wondering if this was part of the new material change? Just wanna know if I can skip this section. Thanks!
