Not bragging, just happy to celebrate! Passed BEC 77 with just one week of studying.
I guess passing UK’s ACA wasn’t a complete waste of time 🥳

The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada).

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Hi Everyone, doing research on evening MBA programs in the DC area. Appreciate any insight on any of the programs, especially if they have a data analytics specialization.

I think I’m having a midlife crisis… 36 y/o, 9 years in consulting before exiting as a Director at a Fortune 50 a year ago. Engineering degree with a sub 3.0 gpa. I shouldn’t think of an MBA as a viable career pivot option at this point right?

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave. Should I go back to undergrad and get a computer science degree? I honestly want a career where I could at least potentially make 600 k per year. I feel in accounting it’s near impossible. Additionally, I’m sick of people looking down on me. My gf is getting a PhD in a social science and gets way more respect then me. I am 25 also. HELP

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Passed FAR and now I’m done! 🎉

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!

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?
