This is a complicated question. I’ll try:

You have to be licensed by a state. Let’s call this your original state.

If you are practicing in a different state and not licensed by that state then it depends on whether that state has reciprocity with your home state and what your new states rules are post COVID for people licensed in their original state and working from home in new states.

License reciprocity means that a state or jurisdiction will recognize the license issued by another state, jurisdiction or country on condition that they meet certain prerequisites and will allow the license holder to apply for their states license without needing to take the entire Uniform CPA exam in that state.

Ca used to not have the 150 hour requirement. Just a bachelor. They was 20 years ago though

I’ve heard Maine

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
