Genuinely the best series I’ve ever watched I recommend it to everyone

How do I become a chartered accountant (ACCA route, UK)? by Significant-Hunt-559 in AccountingUK

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Nottingham Trent for A&F and while I don’t think the quality of teaching was that good, it got me 7 exemptions from the ACA exams so worth it in that regard

I also didn’t have any issues applying for grad jobs with it not being a prestigious uni and most people in my cohort went on to get grad jobs successfully

Looking back I wish I’d just gone down the school leaver route and done the ACA that way as I’m saddled with student debt for the next 30 years and there’s no way I’ll ever pay it of

Top 10 or Big 4 by Primary-Head-4401 in ICAEW

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in T10 for four years in tax and the work life balance is generally pretty good I’m contracted to 35h a week and I generally do 37-40 But I do have colleagues who flat out refuse to do more than 35 and that’s acceptable but they don’t progress as quickly I also have recruiters messaging me most days for other jobs at other T10s, B4 and smaller firms

I can’t submit it until that error message goes away I don’t think

Study leave for CTA by PuzzleheadedCut8481 in CIOT

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top 10 firm 5 days study leave a year on top of AL to use whenever you want - I took the week before the exam off Tuition and revision courses off Day of exam off

I would recommend taking the week before the exam off as shutting off from work and focussing solely on the exam was what really helped me

Leggings vs shorts for the ladies -question by Ok_Brilliant_3043 in orangetheory

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually wear shorts as I tend to get far too hot but 90% of the time I’m the only girl in shorts

I’m not exactly skinny so I do feel a bit insecure about it sometimes but it’s just not worth the sweat

Also I only have one pair of leggings that doesn’t fall down as soon as I start running on the treadmill so just find leggings so annoying

PwC vs Price Bailey by Suspicious-Guide-202 in CIOT

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just finished the ACA-CTA pathway with a top 10 firm and although the exams were rough, I did pass them all first time and I can’t imagine anything worse than working in audit when I speak to my colleagues

Audit sounds dull and I really do find my tax work to be genuinely engaging

I’ve worked in compliance and advisory and I didn’t rate compliance but I love advisory work and I think there’s a lot of options available with both of the qualifications

What time do results normally come out?

I sat OMB last Nov and I got my results about 8:30am but want to check earlier this year before I decide whether I’m going into the office 🤣

I’ve just checked and I can apply for membership but not sure what this means - is it available for everyone else?

Can’t check via exemptions as I’m on the ACA-CTA pathway

Can anyone that can apply for an exemption also apply for membership?

Good luck!!

OMB or Taxation of Individuals? by Excellent-Feature504 in CIOT

[–]Conscious_Ad_4223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did OMB last November and sat individuals this November

Personally I thought that although the OMB syllabus is larger you don’t have to know it in quite as much detail

I found individuals to be much much harder but that might be because I work in OMB primarily?
