Another update: just got my REG score a while ago and I passed! Definitely made those two months without work worth it. I'm halfway done now!
One year and 6 months later I finally passed my last section of the CPA exam. Being laid off from that job was probably the best thing to happen in my early career. I don’t think I could have accomplished that while still working there. I’m finally done studying!!!!! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!
**** yeah breh! congrats! so what's your next step? PwC, EY, Deloitte? you won't get much sleep tho. like at all.
I’m currently at a small local firm where they work me half as hard, pay me better and the bonuses are amazing. I think I’m good there for another year or two until the right opportunity comes along to purchase a small tax practice for myself.
oh nice. good luck with that breh. maybe in the near future when you make it big, you can help out some of our cf fresh grads.
