I have a Bachelors degree in business/accounting from overseas. Is it worth completing a Masters or MBA program in the US or should my focus be on getting my CPA? I have US accounting work experience.

Then CPA I‘d say. MBA is just a networking degree; you’d wanna have the black belt in accounting for this path

Even if you decide to go CPA path you might need your masters done if you don’t have 150 credits from BA program. Evaluate your diploma first for CPA requirements.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
