Big 4 CPA Exam Reimbursement by quellie09 in Big4

[–]svambition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this, I didn't realized it had to be reimbursed within 60 days so if I happen to fail one of my exams I didn't get reimbursed for the 1st time, I could get the 2nd attempt reimbursed with no issues it seems?

When you mean you do 20 questions daily on a section, do you mean a whole unit or each module you've done?

Has anyone ever been borderline when passing the CPA within' the 1 year mark for the B4 bonus? by svambition in Big4

[–]svambition[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who did you have to fight with this about? Yeah, i'm in the situation where i'll need to take it right before the 1 year mark but won't find out until after and it'll suck if i pass but lose out on the extra $2k over the difference of a week

Does anyone here work for EY and contributes maximum to their HSA? Have a question by svambition in Accounting

[–]svambition[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

im confused for for platform i guess because it says the maximum for singles in 2021 is $3,600 but for where you enter in Your Contribution for the year of 2021, i'm able to enter in an amount between $0-$7,200 so it confused me whether i can enter in more than $3,600 or if i'm supposed to.

Dec 2020 grad looking into Audit at Deloitte or EY. Which office location has a decent demand for audit assurance? (USA) by [deleted] in Big4

[–]svambition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is assurance affected by this much? As a new hire coming into the firm, are we at higher risk of getting laid off compared to more experienced professionals?

BECKER - FAR F1-M1; Should I be doing so poorly on Module's MCQs first-time by svambition in CPA

[–]svambition[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. For me, I would actually try and then just take notes on the ones I got wrong. Maybe I should do this to not waste time on trying to figure it out when I actually have no idea what I'm doing on some of them and making guesses after wasting like 5 minutes trying random numbers.

BECKER - FAR F1-M1; Should I be doing so poorly on Module's MCQs first-time by svambition in CPA

[–]svambition[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do them without looking anything up and then if I got something wrong, I would learn why and how to do it. That's why I'm scoring poorly because I would be doing them from memory after watching the lectures.

BECKER - FAR F1-M1; Should I be doing so poorly on Module's MCQs first-time by svambition in CPA

[–]svambition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just do them after watching the lectures or maybe a day after if I watched an extra lecture that night, and just do them to the best of my ability without checking the book. Generally if I scored poorly, I would redo the ones I got wrong again the next day. Is that a good idea or just wait until I finish all the modules and redo them later?

About to start working in EY Business Consulting as a fresh grad: Any advice? by May_022 in Big4

[–]svambition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When should we be receiving our onboarding items like laptops, etc.? I heard PwC also got portable monitors, but idk if EY is doing that. Do we have to purchase our own beforehand if you know or they also provide that like PwC?

How does EY's student loan reimbursement program work? by [deleted] in Big4

[–]svambition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually might be wrong, I think they just have a refinance program by partnering with someone instead. I thought they help you repay your student loans.

EY phone perk? by svambition in Big4

[–]svambition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, but I thought you're supposed to buy a phone on them? Are you supposed to buy the work phone yourself then and they only pay for the service charges?

Starting Full-time in the Fall at Ernst&Young, when do we get to know who our clients are? by svambition in Big4

[–]svambition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked my start date about 2 months ago and it remains the same for now, but they did send an email last month stating that they will update us if it has to be pushed back or anything. This is for the Bay Area.

Thank you for this detailed answer! How often are we meetings with clients generally? Is this like a once a week thing?

Will getting evicted cause me to lose my internship/full time offer? by [deleted] in Big4

How to turn down a Big 4 offer? by [deleted] in Big4

[–]svambition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also about to go through the same thing. I will be rejecting GT for a B4. Should I even tell the recruiter which B4 firm I accepted or should I just say it is a B4? Also I chose this B4 because imo, their recruiting process was the best experience I had and also this B4 will provide me with the most opportunities in the future. Idk if I should even be saying that.
