I am approaching 2 years at my current firm (senior at 2 years, hopefully) and am pretty unhappy with firm direction and my compensation. I feel like I am somewhat good at the job and I do love the work - think the main reason could be because I love my coworkers. I have 2/4 CPA exams done, plan to study for my next after busy season, and am a hard worker. What are realistic exit options/industries/titles I could look for after 11/15 that are good for my career development?

Pass all of your exams before you leave - it will give you much better opportunities once you are licensed. Don't quit before you have another job lined up.

Additinally, has anyone that is semi-new to a firm (2-3 years) felt similar?

What’s your compensation?

Around $80k but i have much more knowledge of OTP/OIT than my colleagues and I know that legit anyone can learn any software, it’s just learning it - like the will to learn it… either way that is my situation

Have you just asked for a promotion and raise? 2 years in, and you know the software really well? Do you know how to prepare your deliverables with minimum guidance?

Yes, correct this past summer I was basically told “we know your raise is shitty but just hold on till Dec. and you’ll get promoted and the raise will be better”

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
