Most associates are just one to two years fresh out of school.. we don't have a mortgage..

Only minority who got girlfriend in university can start applying BTO, and even then the loan doesn't start until years later.

It only becomes stressful when you get promoted to the position supposed to “protect” others. And if you don’t; then all die together.

It just the same routine job once you hit M and above, because you already experienced and proven able to handle the workload and the rest.

But you have different stress which you need to protect the others.

and ISCA has recommended it should be possible to consider exemptions for the remaining 2 modules

meaning next time can exempt all 5 modules, just clear the ethnics and work 3 years can already.

Edit: 2 module (Financial Reporting and Taxation) possible to get exemption.

ISCA looking at exemptions for Assurance and Business Governance.

So still need to clear the capstone Integrative Business Solutions.

But 1 paper better than 5.
