Hi, everyone.

I have had 6 years of accounting experience (financial reporting, cost accounting, accountable accounting), and actively pursuing my CPA certificate. I don't have a public accounting background, and thinking about applying for public accounting firms after obtain my CPA. Is this something doable?

What level of positions and/or type of positions should I look for?

Thank you

Depends on what you want to do. Public firms can have a LOT of different departments. If you’re strong on technical accounting maybe go towards tax. Go for audit if that sounds miserable. 6 years and a CPA i would think puts you at a senior level.

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel? Looking to potentially make a switch but have heard different things across the board, including seeing that most of the job postings for senior roles in these groups are tagged to offices and don’t say remote.

Hi all 👋 does anyone have any recommendations for career switchers trying to land entry-level digital marketing or social media coordinator roles?

The biggest challenge I’m finding right now is that I don’t have many of the hard skills required (photoshop, illustrator, Google analytics) 📊📈.

I would really prefer a smaller marketing agency where I can wear many hats and learn the ropes from scratch. Thanks in advance 😁
