    Lol is this a rite of passage? I’ve been a construction accountant for 2 years and just started public last week. So I’ve never done tax or anything. Last week I struggled through but understood the tax software. This morning I was running through an assignment (NFP tax return) and felt so good about myself!!

    Then the afternoon I hit a wall and felt like a dumb*** because I couldn’t figure out something! It took me all day! The senior accountants are always supportive and understanding but I hate not knowing stuff.

    Are these “growing pains” normal?

    FAR- 5/11/15 76!!
    AUD-10/31/15 63, 84!
    REG-7/12/16 72
    BEC-8/31/15 75!! Perfect Score!

    You'll feel like this until you leave public. No worries.
