My 2 cents is to finish with R&S first, especially if your company is
supporting you.

I can't continue myself right now after the failure this week, have to
give a break to myself, my family and my company supporting me.

But the best would be to do a final push. Just tr as early as you can,
especially if you can study during working hours.

My satiation was a bit different, I had to do a full-day work and study
in the evenings which was quite tough.

Just push it, sure you can do that, mate!
