I used surgent. Passed all 4 first try. I think it's the cheapest. Didn't buy any books or anything, just online lectures and test bank

I would play safe and go with becker. At least i was confident it taught me enough to pass

Best and cheapest...do those two even go together. Ninja was great for me in the past but BEWARE there are many exam and US GAAP updates testable on the 2018 cpa...make sure your not using outdated materials. 😃

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
