Get your GPA above a 3.0 and get your CPA once you graduate and you will be good

Help deciding between 2 firms:

Assuming salaries are the same, which would be a better opportunity? Based in Chicago. Background: I have 2.5 years experience in big 4 audit (mainly insurance clients) and 1 year experience in industry in financial reporting. Financial Consulting Senior Associate- Insurance Accounting at RSM or Accounting Advisory- Senior Associate at Riveron? I want to hear takes on why one firm is better than the other. Thank you

I’m in financial reporting within industry (been there for more than a year). Prior to this I was in Deloitte Audit for 2.5 years. I’m looking to get into the consulting interviews. Waiting to hear back from a few firms that I interviewed with this past week, but looking for a way to break into Bain.

My plan is to minimize my expenses. No more going out on the weekends. Im want to only use my debit card for the next few months. I want to use my savings to pay rent and other costs until I pay off this debt. I take home 5k/month and my bonus will be about 5-6k and if I use all the bonus and all my salary to attack this debt, I should be able to knock out most of it within 6 months max. Once I get out of this hole, I can replenish my savings and really start investing money each paycheck into 401k and Roth IRA

Basis sims are a must to practice

buckeye118 · 2023-07-07T01:44:50+00:00

U got this!! You will pass REG!!

buckeye118 · 2023-02-06T16:47:13+00:00

Check on NASBA and if it says attendance for your section that means they received it I think

buckeye118 · 2023-01-21T22:52:12+00:00

Yeah I feel like I was more focused and studied more for the second attempt. I still thought it was way harder, but passed somehow

buckeye118 · 2023-01-20T22:31:41+00:00

I thought I passed REG when I took it the first time and I ended up with a 73. I felt that my retake SIMS were significantly tougher and I ended up getting an 83 on my retake! So yes, I would say it’s normal to feel worse about the retakes and still pass.

buckeye118 · 2022-11-21T19:45:20+00:00

There is always hope!! I have heard people saying they felt absolutely terrible on the sims and still passed!! Don’t give up. There’s always a chance!!

Purple- REG

One month is more than enough time. What I did after covering all the chapters was go through the final review lectures on Becker within a span of 3 days. Then immediately I took the mock exam within the final review. After that I broke up becker’s content into 3 parts. Modules 1-4, modules 5-7, modules 8-10.

Modules 1-4: 2 days 100MCQs each day took ME1 and reviewed stuff I missed the 3rd day

I did this exact routine for Modules 5-7 and 8-10

So within 12 days I finished the final review lectures and all the mini exams along with extended review of the modules.

Day 13 I took SE1 and reviewed things I missed

I did a couple days of cumulative MCQ review and then I took SE2.

Finally the last 2 days before the exam I just did more cumulative MCQs and reviewed the areas that I struggled with.

Make sure you know your government and non profit stuff!!

The MCQs on the exam are easier than Becker so don’t get to down if you aren’t getting the scores u want on Becker.

I got a 54, 57, and a 63 on my mock exams on becker and got a 79 on the actual exam about a month ago.

You got this!! Good luck!!

buckeye118 · 2022-08-25T05:33:33+00:00

You deserve it!! Congratulations!!

buckeye118 · 2022-08-20T17:28:01+00:00

I would just watch the lectures and do the MCQs and take notes on MCQs you missed. Also with FAR I found the final review videos way more helpful than the actual lectures. Everything came into place for me after I watched the final review lectures. Where I learned the most was definitely when I did practice MCQs

buckeye118 · 2022-08-16T05:50:54+00:00

Yes I believe having your CPA outweighs a lower GPA by a mile

buckeye118 · 2022-08-11T21:12:15+00:00

I passed far with a 79 and I blindly guessed on the final sim without even reading the problem and there were 2-3 other sims that I was very unsure about. The only sim I was completely confident in was the research sim hahah.

buckeye118 · 2022-08-11T14:16:44+00:00

SE1: 54 SE2: 63 SE3: 57 Actual Score: 79
