Studying for the gmat is somehow even more boring than the cpa, for those who also lack motivation, what did you do to get over it?

Really? I enjoyed GMAT studying much more. Probably because I hated accounting and was ready to get out lol

Just get it from someone who is prescribed or just tell your doctor you think you have add /adhd and they ask you some questions and can get it officially

Study with a friend. Going through the process with others is really helpful.

Feeling the same way after doing cpa lol

I agree! I ended up paying for the LiveTeach version because I figured having someone teach (similar to Becker Lectures) would be helpful. I do think it has helped in having to keep up with a set timeline and having classmates to chat with.

Looking for tips from seniors. I'm at A1 level at a litigation firm, stepping out of the deer-in-headlights phase. With the Partners assigning work to me in teams of 2-3, there's potential for growth. But with the sheer amount and depth of work on each case it's challenging to take on a more "adult" role. I often find myself in a more assistive role, either by my choice or the Partners'.
How can I accelerate my progress? What are Partners' and Seniors' expectations from year one associates?

Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
