How much experience do you have? If you are entry level, even with a CPA it might be difficult to find another good entry level job

Nice, I would think you’re probably fine then.

I actually just left my firm for private so I can avoid this upcoming busy season and keep studying. Was supposed to get senior promo next month but w the years of experience and CPA, I think I’ll be in good shape.

That said, finding a new job shouldn’t be too difficult, but how long do you think you can afford having no income?

I recommend studying while working before you have too much work naturally. Sleep work and study and you'll get it done unless you have boundary issues with work, I did the whole quit and come back. It was finally great to have a CPA but it was bittersweet as companies don't care about it as much until you're manager and above (that's where the real opportunities start to come).

Thanks, I realize I should have gone on leave instead.
