Oh NASBA. Thank you for results releasing the day after Christmas so I can cry on company time rather than cry over the holiday table.

Is CPA even worth it anymore? I've held 4 jobs in the last 5 years. Every one has been toxic. 10-11 hours a day has been the norm (that's off close or busy season).

Do I really want to stay in an industry with crazy hours and bosses that blame you for taking a SINGLE emergency day off as the reason last close was bad for the whole team?

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Ntt data vs EY gds? Which is better?

Hey folks, I’m about a year into my new SE career and looking to continue to invest in professional skills.

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).

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..

Please don't ignore. Badly need a suggestion. My lwd is approaching.

Currently SM at Bain (4 years post MBA) and was approached for a senior associate role in portfolio ops at a large PE fund. Been told 2.5 years to VP and another 2.5 years to director. Feels like the role is a bit junior but offers a 50% pay jump.

Thoughts on seniority? Also, any interview resources for PE portfolio roles?

ZS 🐠 - can you receive sponsorship for MBA prior to having tenure of 3 years? If not, what is the downside of applying after 1 or 2 years? I am coming in with 3+ YOE in consulting, so my application would be competitive for next fall (or ‘23)

Thoughts on CSIQ? It is sitting near all time highs but has not jumped like crazy from pre-pandemic. It’s at a 25% premium. It has solid fundamentals. It may be a solid option after it hits the 50 day SMA.

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Have you ever taken a pay cut? Do you regret it?

When it's almost 5pm and you are finally able to start on the task you were supposed to spend most of the day on.

Passed FAR and now I’m done! 🎉

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

I’m starting to study for the CPA exams. Do you think I need to watch the lectures?

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

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 all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?

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

What are your thoughts on Wiley? Pros/cons?

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?

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

How does someone remember so much. I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to remember things which I think in return hurts me

Feeling very defeated and shameful at the fact that BEC has been my hardest exam. Can anyone else relate?

CA shutting down prometric, just received an email that my December date is going to be canceled.
