waste of money,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE CPA WOMAN (TM): An Insider's Guide to Success in a Global Accounting Career (Mandarin-Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
I don't understand why people speak so highly of this book.
This book is thin, and is full of useless introductions to the career. It's more like a "Big Four Career for Dummy". Go to any Chinese career development forum and there are so much more nice people sharing their opinions for free and open to discussion. I don't mean this book is useless. But it really doesnt live up to this price and my expectation.

Angela's book can serve as eveyone's compass for success,
This review is from: THE CPA WOMAN (TM): An Insider's Guide to Success in a Global Accounting Career (Mandarin-Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
Angela's book is filled with life's gold nuggets, not only for men and women who set their goals for a CPA career, but also for men and women of all ages who want to become or remain successful in the careers of their choices. She is tremendously generous in sharing her experience in intricate details, in her beautifully expressive written words through out her book. I especially treasure her succinct formula for success in chapter 4. It provides a road map that we can follow and act upon whether we want to make it in the CPA profession or in any careers we choose. Way to go, Angela!
