Do you think that I will get job offers after I pass the CPA exam? Not one compony will even give me a chance because I don’t have experience, even though I have passed some of the exams already.

You will get a chance. Just remember you are at least one year away from your cpa in most states.

Yes. You will 100% receive more interest if you can say you have passed all four exams. Also, just remember that after a year or two of wherever you go, you can always leave for a more prestigious firm or company. You just need tog eat your foot in the door

Are you currently only studying? What do you want to do? Public or industry

You are correct. But I believe that accounting firms have more CPAs on staff. For example, my current company of hundreds of people only has one CPA on staff, but there is no room for growth.

You have to network, getting your license will help quite a bit. But I really think networking will help you A TON.
