Thanks! Honestly, I no-lifed it for a few months. Get off work, start drilling the multiple choices and sims, read something recreational at bedtime, go to sleep, rinse and repeat. Weekends were the study binge days (although I did play some video games in the evenings).

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position.

I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA. It took me 5 years and I failed so many times, lost credit, spent thousands of dollars on different study materials, coffees, pens, etc. I can’t believe this day has finally come for me. If you’re struggling please don’t give up and don’t compare yourself to someone else. It will eventually happen for you if you keep pushing!

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.
