I have 2 years of audit experience and 1 year of experience as an accountant. I’m currently making $75K in Texas and looking for a higher paying role. Do Financial Analyst/Financial Reporting roles pay significantly higher? I don’t have my CPA yet, and not sure if that will make my pay go up by much since I’m still early in my career. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone offers career coaching - I would be open to learning more! Thank you!

Stop focusing on CPA and focus on advanced excel and SQL if you want to move into financial analyst roles

Why do you say this? I know very few financial analysts who make use of SQL. Seems like overkill

Stop focusing on roles that get you higher pay today and focus on the things you might actually enjoy. While comp may feel important now, its a really small portion of your career and your long term earnings potential matters more. Saying this as a 34 year old who was obsessed with negotiating my comp every year because I wanted more, that extra 3k-5k I squeaked out 7 years ago is literally nothing and had no impact on my overall life. I know easier said at this point in my career, but it’s the truth.

Now that makes more sense lol

OP - where are you located? You might be a decent senior accountant fit for a position I know on site in Austin where pay is higher than 75K

Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs

Any CPAs out there that decided to buy and run a business?

For added context, I have an MBA, have focused of business development so understand sales and dealing with customers.

Thoughts welcome!
