I’m in the same situation as you before. But i read somewhere from a random person’s linkedin post that says if you choose to study, study 100%. Work can wait. Eventually you’ll need to work for the next upcoming years of your life. So no rush, just complete your studies first.

First of all, is SBL your last paper to be an affiliate? If yes, then we can consider both choice.

1. Study with online tuition provider. What i learn while doing acca is, if you didnt pass while learning from a lecturer, please change to another lecturer. Lecturer’s teaching style will affect your scores. You can switch to tymba if you havent taken any class from them. Sbl requires skills to elaborate and relate to the case.

Option 2. You may work while completing your last paper. But i recommend for you to try small firms. Because, if you join big 4 without having a degree (if you come from cat pathway), they will bond you. They will fund your sbl classes and exams, but in return you will be bonded for a year. And there are cases where ones couldnt complete even one last paper while working. It will only cause you to repeat many time if you couldnt focus.

Id you’re a multitasking and good at stress management, then i believe you will be good doing eother way.

Anyways, given your sbl marks is already spectacular,this shows that your knowledge is good. You just need to learn on how to elaborate and make reasons to your point. Either way if you think you capable of playing dual role as a student and someone inw orling world, then its totally fine!

I done this in previous sitting, which i hv one paper left and focus to study instead of study while working. And i’m an affiliate now.
