I’ve been trying to pass the CPA since 2017. I’ve taken FAR 11x and BEC 9x over the yrs and have never passed. I always did well in school but these exams just kill me. Idk what I’m missing. Idk why I keep torturing myself. To have wasted all these yrs and have nothing to show for it. I feel like a failure. I just found out I failed BEC. I’m so sad. I don’t know what to do especially w. changes in 2024. Now what? Is it just me? Do I give up? Need something positive please!

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

FDD during an economic downturn?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

FAR, what a pain..that’s all

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.

So took FAR today, felt good about it. For the most part I felt questions were from stuff i ready and felt was easy. Now am not sure if I got everything of it but I also know1/2

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?

How much are you expecting in raise/promotion or exit opps for having the CPA title and credentials?

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck

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

Haven’t practiced a single Sim for REG and test in 4 days...am I screwed?

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

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

Anyone waiting for scores today?

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