Anyone that has CPA & pursued an MBA - was it worth it? Did it give you a leg up when looking at industry jobs or more options? For example more than just your average accounting manager/analyst role?

Really really not worth it unless you’re getting into a top 10 program and want to make a career change out of accounting.

Agree with M1 above, but even at top 10, you have to have a clear vision of why you’re there. I know people at top tens that just went because it was a top ten and it hasn’t helped them out as much as they expected.

I have an MBA, AACSB accredited, but not a top school. Got it before the CPA and it hasn’t really done anything for me (Tax).

Being a former auditor kind of brands you like the scarlet letter like if you had a the letter A branded on your forehead

Been working at my company as a new grad for almost a year, but don’t see myself in the team that I am in (working with Salesforce) for long term. Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience? Are there companies that will hire by seeing that I am willing to learn and am interested in frontend even tho I don’t have much experience with it yet?
