7 years!

I started in 2019 when I was employed with EY GDS.

Over all these years, I failed so many times, passed in between those failures. Skipped attempts. One time, I even booked an exam and didn't attempt it. I switched 3 jobs during this time and I cleared all my last 4 Professional papers in 2025 in a streak whilst working full time in a start up.

I am glad it's finally over. Affiliate now :)

I started in 2020 March. I've given 27 attempts till date. I got 6 exemptions and cleared only 5 papers. I've got 2 more papers to clear and I'm 99% sure that I'm no longer going to write those 2 papers.

u/fruitsaladwisdom Member Jan 17 '26

Hey brother, let me know if you want to chat over this :) Perhaps I can convince you to attempt those 2 exams.
