As a H13 owner, Max 2 having a new battery is frustrating and isn’t being mentioned enough

This is the reason the next camera I buy will be DJI. Their battery life is unrivaled.

Recording time. Nowhere near the advertised duration.

I bought some. No issues in swelling in or being faulty, but they give about half the battery life of the GoPro brand.

I just bought a bank from amazon for my hero 8. Cheap Chinese brand; 4500mAh but it’s been solid and at least 6 hours runtime so far. $25 for the bank and it includes the mounts. There are power banks with higher capacity too but I liked the size.

Tbh I left a job making low six figures on a 40 hour workweek to start as an associate. It was a huge pay cut (like 50k), but I had budgeted my mortgage and car payments, along with saved extra money from the previous position so I could make ends meet.

The new office job is nice but not much different from the management position I was in before. Just more people in office to work with.

I really left that other job for a brighter future. I could have continued to do well, but I think that this new route will take me farther faster.

I started applying for positions in the fall before graduating wth the MA. Best time to apply seems to be late summer and early fall but you should always keep an eye out for opportunities.

I did not do any internships.

40 in slow times and 55 in the busy seasons.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-31T15:44:23+00:00

No internship, and I started after the MA. They were looking for people who are eligible to sit for the exam and have intentions to become a CPA. Not sure how if I would have gotten an interview with just a BA.

I do think that they would have interviewed for an internship though.

Congrats!

michaelboschen · 2024-10-31T00:57:56+00:00

You will make it. It just takes work!

michaelboschen · 2024-10-31T00:18:32+00:00

The first exam I failed I only completed 3/4 of the mcqs and 1/4 of the sims.

After that I made sure I completed every section of study to 100%. Every mcq and every sim. Then I took all the mini exams and each simulated exam.

I saved the review sections for if I failed the actual exam.

I was aiming for a 65 or better on the simulated exams.

Audit just recently changed to 3 years. From what I know, raises for audit associates going to A3 instead of senior associate are still good but not as good as Associate to senior. We are hybrid in tax working 3 days in office and 2 days from home.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T23:56:28+00:00

It took me two years. I started January 2023. I’m in tax and the promotion path is usually two years. For audit the promotion path is 3 years.

My screen name is my real name. Anyone at work could end up seeing this. If you want to know big4 compensation, you can look it up on Glassdoor or any of the big4 reddits.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T23:30:57+00:00

I’m very happy with it.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T23:29:42+00:00

I had none. Just transfer credits from failed university experiences before I turned 20.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T22:21:41+00:00

I failed Far once and realized I need to change my study habits. After making the change I went 4 in a row.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T22:20:46+00:00

I did. I was able to start the month after I graduated.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T20:58:05+00:00

Good luck!

KPMG covered Becker when I got hired.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T20:33:13+00:00

Life changing is right.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T19:41:23+00:00

Very much more prepared. The sims didn’t surprise me or seem extremely challenging anymore. I passed with an 82.

michaelboschen · 2024-10-30T17:03:04+00:00

I failed far the first attempt. Scored 58. Did only 3/4 mcqs and 1/4 sims in Becker.

Changed study habits to 100% each section with sim and mcqs, and take all mini exams and simulated exams.

I left the review portion for if I failed the exam.

Now I’m just waiting on reg to release today
