So today I was ignored by my client, more than one clerk, the partner AND the firm I’m interviewing at. Will it ever get better?

What do you mean ignored? Like someone didn’t respond to an email?

Enjoy it while it lasts. I woke up this morning to a barrage of emails, phone calls, and check-in meetings. I didn’t sit down at my own desk until 11:30. Being ignored for a day honestly sounds beautiful.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
