Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
Favorite office chair?

Becker. I know it isn’t the cheapest but you will waste your money on something cheaper and not pass only to get Becker in the end, so might as well get it the first time.
Roger was the best for my learning style
Just do Becker. I don’t even have an accounting degree (finance instead) and passed all parts first sitting after focusing on exam prep (while working FT) for 17 weeks. Every evening. Every weekend. Plus 1 week of vacation time. You can do it!
Thank you! Appreciate the kindness and insight.
• Ninja CPA at $67/month - I would highly recommend it as a supplement to a bigger program like Becker or Roger because they have an extensive mcq bank that mirrors the actual exam. Felt much more prepared for each section after going through NINJA than just doing Becker alone.
It’s interesting I’ve heard great things about becker but I’ll admit I can’t stay awake during the videos but I can with Rodger’s

Another vote for Becker. It has everything you need and is worth the money
I used Becker (which I highly recommend for the MCQ), but I supplemented with UniversalCPA which was used to actually understand the topics
How are you a senior manager in technical accounting without already having a CPA license?
Not everyone’s career path is a straight line, and I might be the text book example of that. Education, aptitude, and experience aside, I’ve worked my tail off and have built and maintain a strong professional network. Each leap I’ve taken is because I was able to prove myself to important people at previous roles, and I put in the time and effort to maintain those relationships.
I was so burnt out after going back for my masters while working FT, I didn’t think I’d ever want to put in the time required to study for the exam. But things being what they are in the macro economic environment, I decided it is finally time.
I took it 12 years ago (!) And used CPA Excel, which later got bought by Wiley.
Honestly the biggest value is a good bank of MCQs, which would be the same regardless of the course name
+1 for Becker even though it’s a little expensive.
Their Pro and Concierge programs are on sale right now, which helps a bit
Rogers is so much better than Becker do not waste your money on Becker!
I second this. I was so bored with Becker. Rogwr kept me up and laughing

If you don't have your company cover the cost, then you're doing it wrong
I was just coming here to say this! Definitely make your company cover it.
I quit Becker - they only teach you the one way to answer a question and not the concept.
Check out I75 CPA Review. 20-25 hours per section study time, all auditory, and passed. He teaches the concepts so that any question on that concept you can answer.
