I'm joining EY next month for tech stack ODI, PL SQL. how flexible is it to change a skill set or project after 18 months in EY? I want to eventually move to the data engineering side. ODI (Oracle data integrator) is a niche tool which will go extinct in future and I want to move other technology hopefully in EY.Deloitte Accenture Tata Consultancy

sorry, what's the question?
Why pick you when you can pick someone with similar experience or better with a CPA/EA?

Are you going industry or just to a smaller PA firm? If it’s a PA firm, it’s because you need to be able to practice before the IRS to sign a return - either JD, CPA or EA. Not matter what you think, it’s not just a title.
He’s a senior associate. Granted they may not be able to promote to manager, I say if a strong candidate came around and they just needed their cpa, as long as I expect their motivated to do thus, I would continue to lean on them
My question is that I’m trying to go to a private company as I’ve had enough of the PwC way or Big 4 in general, but those smaller to mid size firms want you to have a CPA or EA. It’s just a title.
No, no more public accounts firms. Job security is not looking good. At least not here. I have a PTIN, and I can sign returns. Listen, Not trying to ruffle feathers here on CPAs, just looking for a job. Just don’t understand the need for having a CPA in some of these private companies. Even my Managers at MFS never had them. Btw, Partners and Officers usually sign the returns.
Like "Tax Director 1" says, it could be because in addition to preparing the return, they want someone that can represent the client(or any of their clients) before the IRS. For that, you'd need to be an EA, Cpa, or Attorney. CPAs and attorneys would be limited to the state in which licensed. EA would not.
