Parenting and exams

Any other parents out there juggling children, life, work and exams?

Struggling more than ever. I'm so worried I won't get through this and it just keeps getting harder. There's always an illness or an issue to deal with and I feel like I'm only just holding everything together

Moving from medium to small practice

I am currently mid-way through my training contract with a top 20 firm in audit dreaming of the day I qualify and put all these exams behind me ..

I was wondering if anyone, once qualified, has moved from a bigger firm to a small local practice and would be able to give me some insights on what this is like in reality e.g finding a job, salary, progression, how pressured work is at a smaller firm, and how this could fit in with my audit experience.

I've heard that training in audit is the easy part then the pressure gets even worse from there and I'm not sure I can take that as I have young children etc. I'm not into massive salaries and would be happy settling for 60-65k for a 9-5 job (with only a few late nights here or there).

Tia!

I've got 25% extra time and 8% stop the clock (why such a random %!?!)

Anyway, how does stop the clock actually work? I will be at a test centre and not in my own room

Thanks
