After I passed the last CPA section, friends around me said: "Congrates! Let's celebrate". Why do they say so when after that nothing positive has happened to me and nothing changes? No new job, no rate increase. I have been waiting to hear from EY (after 1 online game.assessment) and Deloitte (after 1st virtual interview and game assessment) and feeling like it takes forever to hear from them. Any hope?

They say congrats because it’s an accomplishment, not everyone that studies for the cpa exam pass all parts. Be grateful for your friends happiness for you. There are more accounting jobs out there than qualified candidates so just keep looking and don’t be bummed because you haven’t heard back from two firms.

Shouldn’t have gone in thinking the CPA gauruntees you anything. You got interviews which many non-CPAs may not have gotten the opportunity to. It’s an accomplishment to pass so you should feel good, but besides raises at a current firm, getting a CPA doesn’t mean you “get” anything. Just more potential opportunity and earnings - key word potential

It certainly gives you an advantage over other applicants. And if you’re in public accounting (at least audit), having your CPA will enable you to be promoted to manager and above (a handful of firms require having your CPA to be promoted to senior).

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
