Do the job listings you're interested in require ACCA? If not, I would work on that later and get actual work experience now. I would take note of the jobs you're interested in, see what overlapping requirements they have are, and work on building these up

Thanks for your valuable insight

Well, I think a lot of that depends on what your future goals are and what you are doing right now. ACCA can open a lot of doors, but it is an undertaking to get through too. If you want to move that will help, if you aren’t really sure what your goals are, may be better to figure that out first.

I am an international student and I did 2masters in accounting. Looking forward to make career in accounting. The main question is by which way i can get visa sponsored job early. By ACCA or doing job as account assistant in a company for 2 years

While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?
