Cut through the noise, stay focused, lay low, chill out, get your CPA first, more doors open.

If you want a higher paying job in the accounting field (elevate to the next level) you should get your cpa. If accounting is not the career you want to grow in than don’t.

Best way to make more money and get a higher title is to jump ship. Start applying

I'm guessing masters in accounting? Assuming yes, the next step is an advanced license, like a CPA, and working for a company that has the need for such skills. It might not be the place you are at now, since that didn't require a masters or the license.

Thank you all for the reponses i have been applying to other companies but they require experience and knowledge of software like Netsuite that i dont have. I tried searching for netsuite training but couldn’t find anything

Explore paths in Finance or Accounting Operations. There is a world of opportunities in corporate enterprise when you have an accounting competency. For me personally, accounting firms have never been appealing to me. I have an Accounting degree. 3 minors in finance, forensic accounting and business management. I have worked in budgeting, FP&A, project management, auditing, corporate accounting...all of which have been rewarding, interesting and have allowed me to advance my career as a 6 figure earner. Best of success!

Do your CPA

My company issues top of the line 16” MBP’s for engineers and lower end 13” MBP’s for all others. I work in analytics/ data science and struggle with the fact that my computer can only run 1 external display! No one else on my team cares. How can I navigate requesting a more expensive computer without annoying my leadership? I already own an upgraded MBP as my personal - can I offer to swap my work and personal machines?
