Study every single day. Don't just cram

Right! Thanks

After having gone through all the lessons, give yourself 2 weeks of doing 100 MC/day. Review the ones you get wrong and understand why. By the end you should be getting at least 70-75% of them right

Thanks for response. Can do that

You should stick to one material and do some practical exercises. At least 2-3 hours a day would be enough.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
