For audit, is attempting to transfer industries and into a new firm a waste of time for someone at the senior associate level? Would possessing a CPA increase that significantly, or does anyone factor just depend on the firm itself?

Possessing a CPA only removes barriers to entry if you want to make manager and above. Having a CPA doesn't block you ability to move into an industry group.

It is never a waste of time If you are moving into something you are interested in. This is your career and if you don'tsteer it then someone else will and you may not like where you are at in the end.

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
