I thought getting my CPA would unlock all these new doors, but instead, it feels like it’s boxing me in. Every recruiter wants to talk about tax, audit, or controller paths. Meanwhile, I’m out here trying to explore business ops, strategy, and product finance. I know the designation adds credibility, but I feel like people stop listening after they hear accounting. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you reframe your CPA to show breadth instead of limitation?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess).

Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

I got LinkedIn messages from two recruiters about EY FAAS and KPMG M&A Advisory positions around 2 months ago.
