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?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?

How high can google go on signing bonus ( currently $25k) and equity (currently $65k) for L4 position.. total exp 4 years .. should I negotiate?

Hi Fishes,

I have an offer of around 39 LPA + bonus and my wife is holding an offer of 32 LPA in India. Now I have received another offer from a fintech organization in Berlin, Germany who are providing me 69k Euros as base salary + 5k Euros as RSU and also an on call support of 5k Euros annually + complete relocation assistance package. My wife currently doesn't have any offer for Germany and might need to search for a job after reaching there. Is it worth? Need your suggestions please.

Do you ever feel like people treat you differently at your firm because of your age? Like reverse ageism? As if you don't know enough or aren't competent enough yet? Just curious if others have ever felt this way.

I have joined hcl on 24 th sep 2021 and my last working day here is 18th May 2022.

I have hit my wall. I cannot do public accounting any longer. I cannot deal with the constant focus on compliance, billable hour and the general unproductive behaviors/mindsets. I remember a day when we were here to help clients. Now I just feel like we are here to bill clients. I want to go help someone build something.
Now I just need to figure out how a director with a tax background can have transferable skills to something else...

Hi what kind of indoor plants that require no light would be suitable for my macrame hangers? I have 3 pcs

Anyone have anything to share with petals?? Craving some happy colors 🌺🌸🌼🌹💐

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.

Mealybugs on every pothos. I've tried Neem oil and rubbing alcohol but no luck. About to raise the bar with weekly insecticidal soaps. Has anyone ever been able to get rid of mealybugs?

Piggybacking on my previous post about beginner plants. What about succulents? Are they low maintenance?

Have a spider mite infestation on a lemon tree I brought indoors for the winter. Anyone have any ideas for how to kill them? I looked online and have tried neem oil, but it doesn’t seem to be working too well. Help!

I left a little doorstep herb garden out over the winter. Do we think anything will come back or is it dunzo? Basil, cilantro and thyme. My rosemary out there persevered!
