At some point does experience out weight having your cpa or not ? Especially in industry reason I ask is I’m not a CPA / in industry making 90k I worry if I pass cpa exam I’ll have to take a step back to gain public accounting experience to be licensed cpa. I’m happy with salary , work life balance but where I’m currently at wants me to take cpa exam

No CPA will always open more doors than experience.

One gal could but won’t because she’s not my direct report
If I do go back to PA I’ll do the big four

Do you have another license? If in tax, EA?

The work you are doing right now is something im looking for. most of the accounting position are tailored towards accounting.

Is your supervisor a licensed CPA?

Nope

Why do you have to work at a PA firm to gain experience for CPA? You can get experience even in industry as long as another CPA signs off on your experience form.

Yea I might just cross this bridge when it comes up lol
Yea it’s rough but we might eventually hire one higher up

How many years experience do you have? You can probably either look for an industry job with the same position where your supervisor is a cpa or if you want to go the PA route you can probably get hired in as at least a senior. You don't have to apply at entry level.

I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me.
