They extended credit for exams that had credit expiring between 1/2020 -11/2023 to 6/30/25 🥳🥳. I passed AUD in 2018 and never took any more exams so this is huge for me! I was already planning on taking BEC in December and figured I’d have to take AUD again (and FAR/REG). Super thankful but the only drawback is now I feel pressure to pass all in 18 months again as opposed to the new 30 months.

Would MBB firms ever pay for your MBA tuition if you got your MBA prior to joining? Like if you agreed to stay on for X number of years and they pay down your loans. Does that happen?

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

If I go to a non-HSW M7, what are my chances of getting a post-MBA offer from MBB? Just looking for offers/applicants numbers (ballpark is okay).

What are M7 MBB recruiting timelines ? Considering applying right now to MBB, but if I get rejected I’m going to do an MBA, will I be blacklisted from applying for summer internships if I get rejected this fall ?

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

What do people take into account when deciding your exit date before grad school? What is a typical last day for GSAP folks?

Trying to do some initial research on laptops for business school and trying to determine if a new Mac book pro could be used at Wharton (or honestly any school!) for finance (not quant finance major though!)

Linux Academy or acloudguru for studying/passing Solutions Architect Pro Exam?

Can you get MBA tuition reimbursement if you’re a Digital Strategy Analyst? Or, do you need to be baptized as a pure Strategy Analyst?

What kinds of strategy projects would best prepare you to exit to a clinical stage pharma start-up and support their business strategy through clinical trials / an ipo?

Hi All,

Can you support me with 11 Likes so that I can have my messaging feature enabled.

Thanks!

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?

Hi. I am going to start a interview process to work in Amazon.
I am currently happy in my currently work but as I am a contractor the stability is the reason to interview in Amazon. I would like to know how is the culture in Amazon / work-life balance / opportunities to grow and salaries. The position is for Sr Manager in Virginia

Just a discussion thread, but I feel like this is a good bowl to ask this. Does anyone else look at the vast majority of folks around you and think “damn, we are so over leveraged as a society?” Or am I just crazy?

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Hi Fishes, wondering if someone can help with referral. I have 7+ years of Data Analytics, Product Analytics and Business Intelligence experience. I am currently serving notice period. Thanks!

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

Did anyone read the top consulting firms to work for? 😂😂😂

Do I even want to become VP? MD? Not sure if I want to become a slave to banking.

I want to get CLEAR but worried about giving my biometrics to a company (especially with all the hacking stories these days) - anyone else feel the same way or am I being paranoid?

Dyscalculia-c here, so request no judgement on question. If I have 10k in 401kA and 20kin 401k2 , will I make more in growth if I combine them into a single 401k? A friend was trying to push this logic but it’s beyond me.

HI,

any openings for mainframe position for 2 years experienced. Would appreciate your help for me.

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

Can anyone please advise on the process of obtaining a license in MA.
I passed my exam and need an experience certificate from my former employer but they want me to send over a state application form which they would fill out but Massachusetts does not have ang such form.
Has anyone faced such issue before?

Do you think that I will get job offers after I pass the CPA exam? Not one compony will even give me a chance because I don’t have experience, even though I have passed some of the exams already.

I’m starting to study for the CPA exams. Do you think I need to watch the lectures?

I've taken all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?

How does someone remember so much. I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to remember things which I think in return hurts me

I’m hoping to schedule FAR for early January 2023. Any tips on that section or resources that you found helpful? I work full time and I’m a mom of a 2yr old and 6 month old.

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck

How much are you expecting in raise/promotion or exit opps for having the CPA title and credentials?

Taking FAR soon! Currently reviewing the book and wanted to see if y’all had any advice on what modules/sections to cover more then others? Been hearing Gov/NFP is a big one. Anyone care to share what the exam was like for them and what it mainly covered?

Anyone here taken the LSAT and the CPA? Which one is harder?

Really wish I never purchased 'Ultimate CPA Exam Guide' through Bryan Kesler. Waste of $708. I've been completely duped. Stick with official CPA materials and NINJA. "UCEG" Method is practice & review

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.

CA shutting down prometric, just received an email that my December date is going to be canceled.

How important is QBI for REG?

Break in the middle is nice to refresh your mind. Sims actually seem lengthier but give you more leeway imo.
