So I’m studying FAR right now (only 3 chapters in) and I just heard about the new audit and BEC updates coming in July. My plan was to do FAR then Reg, but given that Becker is recommending we do AUD and BEC before it changes, should I do those next instead?

I’ve dragged my heels on FAR and it’s my last one. What I can say about BEC and AUD is that they are shorter and easier to get through and it probably is worth prioritizing depending on how much is changing. I would start with AUD since that is primarily theory. Easy to get through in 3-4 weeks.

July 1, 2021

Becker is now recommending to take AUD/BEC prior to the changes and if possible to wait until after the changes are in place to take FAR/REG

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

I just accepted an offer in writing. The new job will start the background check next which I’ve been told it may take a while to complete.

I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
