Looking to start studying for the CPA is it worth to try to get into a Big 4 before passing? I've heard they will pay for it and give a bonus for passing.
Or stay where I am and know I'll have time to study with my current work load.

Both options got their pros and cons. If you stay and clear CPA, chances are you can negotiate more while getting hired.

If you join first and then do it, you might have to wait for certain time to get started and then they may have retention clause.

Has anyone ever worked out of a co-working space? Did you like it / did you get any social interaction out of it? I’m in a 100% remote role & the isolation is driving me crazy. (My team does everything via email or IM - phone & video calls are super rare) I’ve been considering working from a co-working space 1-2 days a week, but it’s so expensive I’d like to get some first-hand reviews first. Thanks!
