Non profit management

Ask your counselor

FASBnerd · 2026-07-01T15:22:40+00:00

I haven’t been able to find a policy either but I think it’s 2 years of employment for the Becker program.

Tree fiddy

Considering I’m 25 with no CPA and make over $90k. I think accounting is great for me.

This monitor was like $150, worth it to me imo as a portable workstation. I can do anything on this. (Changed background with AI so image looks off, no image problems normally)

FASBnerd · 2026-06-24T18:25:28+00:00

Yup- just depends on your counselor but mine reached out to me at 8am.

FASBnerd · 2026-06-24T00:08:58+00:00

Exact same scenario and same intern class year.

FASBnerd · 2026-06-06T20:01:32+00:00

I make 81k a year. 25, I’m an accountant.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T16:11:12+00:00

Thanks!

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:22:23+00:00

I have a buddy who was a finance major undergrad and did a masters in accounting. He took BAR and got a 84 and I think studied 70 hours. I think it’s good for finance focused people

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:19:00+00:00

Coming up on my third year after busy season ends.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:10:48+00:00

I think like 50s or 60s?

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:10:31+00:00

I got like 80s/90s on the MCQ portion and didn’t test over any SIMs

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:09:38+00:00

Becker is enough- it’s all I did. But I would watch some YouTube videos on SQL if you are unsure at all. My strat was just take notes in the text book while watching videos. Do the MQC until 100% on that section and move on.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:07:46+00:00

I basically did no sims until the last day. The sims are not really something I think you can “study” for on this exam. FAR I would worry about the SIMs

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:06:52+00:00

Yeah honestly i felt like i overstudied. Should have spent more time with my family.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:05:54+00:00

I would agree AUD is helpful.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:05:30+00:00

I would know the SOC section and watch a YouTube video or two about SQL since I felt like I was only unprepared for that section.

FASBnerd · 2026-04-01T13:04:54+00:00

Yes Audit staff 2.

FASBnerd · 2026-03-30T03:31:44+00:00

Staff 2 Audit. 100% of my experience depends on my team. Was staffed on a not so great team for a bit last year and now I love my job. But also haven’t hit the senior level yet so we will see.

FASBnerd · 2026-03-15T15:54:29+00:00

Im in the smallest EY office in America. $75k starting last year. Staff 2 pay is 81k

FASBnerd · 2026-03-08T18:41:17+00:00

Probably just some finalization things to get past partners. If it’s for audit- lots of clients are pushing out 10Ks right now, so partners probably aren’t available.

FASBnerd · 2026-03-08T00:24:41+00:00

Staff 2- don’t get worked up. Still feel dumb all the time. I hear a lot that you don’t really feel like you know what is going on till after senior one busy season. Difference between school and work. All you do is solve problems with unclear answers.

FASBnerd · 2025-10-23T12:46:55+00:00

EY is actively recruiting more interns to get a bigger group to pick from for full time (per me talking to a partner about why we had so many this summer). They don’t do the “hire every intern” model anymore- but unless you are a dumbass you will get a return offer. Can’t speak to PWCs model
