For accounting? PwC is probably the best. Deloitte right there behind it. Then EY, then KPMG

Why do you want an MBA to get through CPA, instead do MBA for like strategy or IB!? And if you really want to do CPA, do MS in Accounting from any Tri-state schools.

K2 exactly what I was trying to tell OP. Get MBA in something which can create more future prospects

Find a fit for you, we all deliver the same work at the same sized clients. Find and judge the culture from minute one and let the be the tell. That’s what worked for me

Thank you!! This is great advice!

Have to agree with D1 here. You can only get your MBA once, and if it nots a T15/T20 it’s a waste. If your end goal is sitting for the CPA, just get a certificate in accounting from any AACSB accredited school and you’ll be fine. I have several colleagues from B4 who went this route to get their CPA.

How do you decide how much notice to give when you're leaving a firm to go to a competitor? I know that no matter how much notice I give, they'll walk me out the day I give it. I don't want to be in limbo for 2-4 weeks while my licenses are still held by the former firm before I can start at the new one. But I also don't want to burn a bridge by resigning effective immediately. Would appreciate some insight from other W2 advisors who have moved firms before.
