@BainšŸ  - struggling to decide if I should apply next cycle to an AC or C role. Have an MPA and will have 2.5 years of Big4 experience. What role would you recommend I focus on applying to?

Assuming NA - Getting in as a C might be hard because you donā€™t have the typical degree - MBA, JD, MD PHD. I havenā€™t really seen a stand-alone MPA qualify for what we consider an Advanced Degree.

But then youā€™re likely overqualified for an entry level AC position. If you were able to network in as an experienced AC, thatā€™d be the path to take but thatā€™s also fairly rare.

Thanks for the insight!

Worth having a discussion on that with a recruiter if possible. My take is also that C is hard, but that you should aim for it instead of AC, unless youā€™re 100% okay starting from scratch. I feel AC2 is hard because you need to get to SAC almost instantly, and if your foundation isnā€™t there you may struggle.
