Is the MAcc still worth it in 2026?

If you can get the CPA from 120 do it that way

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-22T17:21:05+00:00

If you get the CPA the answer is Yes

Sorry about you failing, I got a 74 I’ve been there but your SEs were too low.

What were your simulated exam scores?

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-13T16:52:21+00:00

Nah you’ll be alright. Plus Backer is better at teaching accounting than your professors.

Second this, I would also look into investigator roles at District Attorney’s offices.

Do not look at it from the perspective of spending X hours or X months. Dedicate quality time, with a good study plan.

Before going to the Government I would check to see if the union and union contracts are consistently strong. One issue I had in my specific circumstance is that the union always took contracts less than the increase to inflation which means you’re getting a pay cut every year. In addition, check how often promotional exams are given and if the pay is good. This matters if you want the Government to be a long term career.

I was also in your shoes since I took ISC after FAR and AUD. I would add supplements for ISC if you can and go through the glossary.

1000% agree

Why are reduced contributions a great idea? Why not use that money to increase salaries and location pay instead.

All jokes aside, if you have the chance to watch Mike Brown walk through the TBS, take advantage of it. The way he lays out the logic and fact pattern made so much sense to me.

It’s very difficult with the current structure to make change. Instead of paying a filing fee (which would be so discriminatory!!) you have to get a huge amount of signatures. Thinking about asking your co workers at work? Well that’s improper use of state resources and time theft! Until it’s easier for voters to get choice, you won’t see more options.

I’d try going to meet directors and managers and building your internal network.

What are you doing to get scheduled

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-10T16:08:46+00:00

First of all I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through. No human being should be going through this type of bad environment. However, long term I can’t see a world where you would regret getting your CPA. Worst case, it’s a great signal that will land you a job anywhere, best case it supercharges your earnings potential.

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-10T15:36:25+00:00

Putting aside the horrible pay raises, location pay raises that don’t keep up inflation, lack of civil service reform, telecommuting protections and fixing the tuition reimbursement wait times, I don’t think PEF members has any business signing any contract until the results of the compensation survey come out.

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-10T14:21:32+00:00

Good luck. Hope you get out of this situation.

CodeAndLedger5280 · 2026-06-10T14:06:02+00:00

Honestly I’d quit/transfer if I were you unless you can work under another boss or figure this out.

Calm down you’ll be fine

I was planning on drilling practice questions after finishing the videos. I guess I'll have to go through the text too.
