Questions about moving from FDD associate at MM to senior associate at PwC. How strict are they on having the CPA on this level (have the credits but did not sit for it yet). Also, anything else to consider in terms of interview process?

Made this move pretty recently, went from being the only associate with a CPA at the MM to seeing every single senior have one at big4. Basically table stakes to them.

Get the CPA, you won’t regret it. Unless you’re just leveraging this to get into IB…even then a CPA still sets you apart from the herd

Former client( filed a bar grievance that was dismissed, sent me a demand letter that an attorney responded to on my behalf, and filed a BBB complaint against my non-BBB law firm) has now pro se filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. Alleging misrepresentation, failure to file a lawsuit, and failure to advise during the process. I have phone logs, emails, and billing notes (all of which she has) that show she’s lying. Should I notify my malpractice carrier? All advice appreciated!
