Keep it. CPA is tough to get and you put a lot of time and effort to get licensed.

Until you are 100% sure that you’ll never return to a role where the license would be value add (even if just to have on your resume) it is worth keeping. It’s fairly easy to get free CPE.

likesmart

Just wait until you have 2-3 live deals one year, you won’t have time to do CPE to keep it active

I would advise you keep it, absolutely no reason not to.

likesmart

I would keep it active if you don’t have to go out of your way to do extra CPE beyond what you’re doing for your IB job. If it’s a CPE burden I would switch my license to inactive (vs just letting it expire - can be a headache and expensive to reactivate a license that lapsed should you find yourself needing it down the road).

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)?

For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.
