Lots of jobs in industry also prefer CPA. I would get after it.

Certainly can’t hurt. I was in a corporate tax department after school and got the CPA even though not required. Several years later I wanted something different and came to EY as a manager. Never would have been able to if I didn’t have CPA

I work as a finance manager this is the only job I have ever had. Pursing my cpa, applied to bunch of public accounting firm only to face rejections

Definitely

yes

Definitely worth it. I never worked in public but got my CPA out of undergrad and it has helped me get raises and positions throughout my career.

It is a good idea to pursue your CPA and you could eventually work for a CPA firm. My biggest regret is that I never passed the CPA exam.

I’m a controller with a CPA and have never worked in public accounting. I went to industry straight out of college, so I’d say it’s definitely possible to progress without working in public.

Also, jobs will always prefer a candidate with a CPA than without a CPA, regardless of having worked in public.
