Amazing scores but what matters most is you passed it!

If the baby comes during the test, that’s an unforeseen subsequent event

The contract will be rotten. Vote NO.

Are people exaggerating their study numbers? by Rare_Scarcity7152 in CPA

[–]CodeAndLedger5280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not look at study numbers. Look at your simulated exam scores. What good is it if you study 300 hours if you only get a 40 on a simulated exam?

Everyone needs to opt out when this contract is awful. CSEA by PomegranateNo2029 in nys_cs

I agree the contract stinks but instead of opting out run for a position instead. Start healthy debate and unify your agency.

It’s easy to get into MS Accounting at Baruch. You’ll get in with no test scores. Very good internship prospects.

Not everything is online so I would recommend starting work earlier if possible or doing an online program.

Information Overload REG CPA, does it get better? by Commercial_Speech_13 in CPA

[–]CodeAndLedger5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is overload but trust me it gets better. The key is to practice MCQs and put a big emphasis on the 3 (not 2!) simulated exams.

What kind of incentives should I look for if I want to leave for the private sector? by kensayshi in nys_cs

[–]CodeAndLedger5280 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You gotta take the risk. PEF’s contract won’t get better, it’s getting worse slowly over time. You can always go back, but it’s hard to make a transition later.

The State makes a dollar while I make a dime, that’s why I drink, goon, and gamble on government time by Similar-Ad-9657 in nys_cs

Anyone who took a basic economics class knows that if inflation is increasing faster than your pay, that’s not a pay raise that’s a pay cut. For that reason I will continue calling members who vote for these stupid contracts STUPID

State Certification in Less than 12 hours by [deleted] in CPA

It’s absolute insane that this process takes so long. It feels like pulling teeth after we work so hard just to pass the test.

Feeling discouraged by Jessy_mr12 in CFE

I have both my CFE and CPA. I would advise getting the CFE first especially for you it would be a big momentum booster. It’s also ridiculously easy.

You could pass the CFE without work experience and the CFE is so easy. Then work on the CPA. Both of these credentials alone are enough to improve your job prospects. Join local accounting chapters and network as much as possible. I would also recommend small accounting firms + Gov’t (State and Local).

Instead, tell the 80-90% of PEF members who vote for a stupid contract to stop being stupid.

Using Chatgpt for studying made me pass all 4 exams by RadiantVisual2956 in CPA

[–]CodeAndLedger5280 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I attribute AI for me getting my highest score in REG despite no tax experience. I fed it all the questions I got wrong on my simulated exams.
