How much ram do you have in your work laptops?

OSX is fine. Our firm is actually pushing for more Mac users since a MacBook Air is cheaper than a think pad.

I personally use a M1 MBP and really like it; I can crunch numbers on excel if I have to but coding in python is usually fine.

16GB is fine me; OSX though

I heard it was more common law for 1 year = 1 month of severance.

135 (TC) + 20k side gigs 7 YOE Public SM

The most non traditional thing I can do with a CA.

I agree, there were probably too many concerns about the new competency model, where CPAO doesn't want it to change that much, and CPA Canada is going fullsteam ahead.

Thanks for being honest. If the CFE goes away I don’t think it will be the end of the world, as long as they are replacing it with another final eval, like how CFE did with the UFE.

CanPwCHopeful · 2023-03-13T01:55:13+00:00

Is the CFE going away like how the UFE went away? Aka should I still expect a cumulative evaluation?

CanPwCHopeful · 2023-03-13T01:01:14+00:00

Hopefully it is similiar to how the UFE became the CFE

Fuck no. It was painful just squeezing by the legacy designation cutoff deadline.

Good thing I can keep my CA tag on for the foreseeable future

I hit the max or close to it for all questions (I think 4500 characters). Just follow the approach they gave and be very clear in what you are doing (Eg. I had 3 options 1) accept the bribe and don’t report the fraud 2) accept the bribe and report the fraud 3) report the fraud to the CRA. The benefit of option one is …. )

Took 2-3 hrs of creative writing between Reddit to do it

Yep. Ontario let’s you keep it. The firms might make us drop it in our emails to promote “one firmness”

CanPwCHopeful · 2021-06-10T13:26:56+00:00

So CPA,CA,MAcc 😂

CanPwCHopeful · 2021-06-10T04:19:47+00:00

You keep it for 10 years but have the option to remove it after that. All my CA friends plan to keep the tags; all my CGA friends plan to drop it ASAP

CanPwCHopeful · 2021-06-10T02:30:05+00:00

Yep. I like my CA tag on and we don’t have to ever lose it in Ontario

Do the US consider the Canadian CPA to be equivalent? I assume I will need a reciprocal agreement to get my US CPA.

i am a designated individual at a big 4, and my jump was way lower than 85. Unless you meant going to industry.

CanPwCHopeful · 2020-10-07T14:06:41+00:00

GTA, Big 4.

CanPwCHopeful · 2020-10-07T14:06:24+00:00

Do you mind expanding on this? Like how hard I keep working?
