I agree with you. The first part was easy -- the third part is painful.
I live in Missouri -- I always thought that California is somewhat more open (as far as the companies' hiring process). I guess it's about the same here and there.
You mentioned that you are from Ukraine. I am not sure if the companies need to sponsor your H1B -- and that might be a factor for their reluctance.
Becker is good, I agree. It's just quite expensive, isn't it? I paid $1900 for the CPA review course. THe CMA Exam will cost me about $1200. That is why I went ahead and use GLEIM.
** The bottom line is - how much we'll get down the road with those certificates....?
100% agree with you!
Again -- Good Luck!! If we can pass both exams -- Big 4 should not be too difficult.
If not, hey -- we can always go to Big 4 "B-School", switch to investment banking, and make twice as much! :)
Good Luck! & the compliment is deservedly yours!

I actually have permanent resident status already. So I don't have to worry about H1B, fortunately....:).
Becker was recommended to me by a pretty "old" heavily experienced CPA partner, who simply told me that if you want to crack CPA exam - grab Becker. :)
Yup, it's expensive though. But it's worth it. Especially the CDs.
I'd say the only company that really asks for licenses during application process is Y/E. The others don't even ask.:( We'll see. The sooner you nail CMA, the better.
I have to say that this process costing section in the third part of CMA is kind of painful....:(
But what do you think about CFM? Just one part to grab this certificate........
Is it worth it?
And about I-Banking - have you read "Monkey Business"...? :)
I still would like to have at least some personal life....I'm not that old.:)
Thanks.
