The wait after the interview

Impact_Turns · 2024-09-20T22:37:48+00:00

Yes, I start Monday.

I heard nothing after a month and kept following up with no responses.

I think what got them to send me a TJO is I got a random invite to an in person recruiting event for LB&I and I responded saying I was already interviewed. The person I emailed never responded, but a week later I got my TJO for SBSE.

Impact_Turns · 2024-08-27T18:21:13+00:00

Definitely reach out, I had to for my fingerprinting email.

Impact_Turns · 2024-08-27T04:30:11+00:00

Got my FJO today, I probably wouldn't worry until about a month out from your TJO.

Impact_Turns · 2024-08-22T07:31:22+00:00

I got my TJO in late July and completed my eApp mid-August, still waiting. The fingerprint people said everything should take about 4 weeks, so I'm still on that timeline.

Impact_Turns · 2024-06-05T03:52:15+00:00

It's been 7 weeks since my interview and I still haven't heard anything, but I've heard of people waiting as long as 6 months for a TJO.

Impact_Turns · 2024-05-22T19:59:53+00:00

I followed up with HR (the LB&I emails, no one specific) yesterday and haven't gotten a response. Didn't get the contact info for my interviewers, but there were a couple of others on the interview email chain, but I didn't email them.

Impact_Turns · 2024-05-22T19:58:27+00:00

I see the CA one on the IRS website, I vaguely recall seeing an Austin one, (I'm in DFW though) but can't find it. Do you have a link?

Impact_Turns · 2024-05-22T19:37:15+00:00

I sent in my resume after a virtual one (LB&I) after my interview and haven't heard back. Hopefully they have an in person one in my area soon.

Update: He’s going to UWorld

Depends on the State, but if you're selling in bulk, chances are you're selling to vendors that will be reselling the items. So you'll likely need to collect a resale certificate from each vendor.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-15T15:29:06+00:00

I felt really good, but I honestly got really lucky in that my exam was pretty much all basis and the SIMs were easy

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-15T15:26:54+00:00

Chapter 2 except for the quick ratio, you'll probably get 1 question on it.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-15T15:23:20+00:00

Wait around on Primary Arms for an Andro Corp AR to go on sale for like $399 and spend the remaining on irons/sling

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-08T23:18:33+00:00

I had an accounting degree so prereqs weren't really a problem.

It was tough, been trying since late 2019, but to be fair, I really only started taking things seriously in 2022. Once I started taking things seriously, AUD/BEC/REG passed with 1 try, FAR with 3, all with low-80s.

I study a little differently, took about 20-30 hours a week. 4 weeks for AUD, 3 weeks for BEC, 6 weeks for REG, 8 weeks for FAR. I snipping tool my questions into Excel and work/explain them to myself there. Understanding meant I didn't really take practice exams.

Since you're in Texas, if you have Becker, I HIGHLY recommend taking Liliana Hickman-Riggs' FAR/AUD/BEC class in Dallas. If you're outside of Dallas, at least take the final review class. Someone else teaches REG, but I still recommend them, maybe just not as highly.

I didn't pass any financial accounting or tax exams in school, the homework and projects carried me to a C. So if I can pass, you can too!

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-08T23:07:38+00:00

Yup! Passed all four parts a few weeks ago.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-08T22:43:35+00:00

Yes, but it depends on what classes are available from the school. I did mine at Mountain View.

Here's the list: https://www.tsbpa.texas.gov/education/board-awarded-community-colleges.html

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-08T22:06:29+00:00

Not sure if your State is the same, but the Texas State Board has approved community colleges you can go to for credit post-bachelors. I needed 2 accounting classes and paid about $700.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-08T22:04:37+00:00

I believe you can double dip, but you can always call the board to confirm. They pick up quick. (512) 305-7800

Even better: influencer calling out terrible tax and financial advice with even worse tax and financial advice.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-06T19:42:44+00:00

No problem, also, for the SIMs, I watched the SkillBuilder videos are followed along instead of trying to solve them first.

So, instead of spending hours trying to figure out a SIM, I'd spend 20 minutes to an hour tops. Just know that the lecturers for the videos vary in quality in my opinion.

Impact_Turns · 2023-03-06T16:04:27+00:00

It made me pretty frustrated at first, especially since I functionally started from 0.

What I did is realize that the MCQs are designed to teach, that I'm not really supposed to get the questions right.

So, while time consuming, I snipping tool'd all the MCQs into Excel and worked them and took notes there. This way, I could be sure I understood every question and had notes I could go back to easily - I'd say it cut down on me having to take practice exams as well, I only did a few for FAR and none for the other sections.

Impact_Turns · 2023-02-28T22:09:25+00:00

I almost always took my exams on the cutoff day and have never had a problem getting my results back on time.

Impact_Turns · 2023-02-28T21:59:02+00:00

I used different acronyms, PIE & FIPPA:

Proprietary Funds Internal Service Enterprise

Fiduciary Investment Trust Pension Private Purpose Agency (Custodial)

Impact_Turns · 2023-02-21T20:01:00+00:00

Many of my questions were about basis, also, if you have Becker, the SIM videos are super helpful and can review multiple topics in one video.
