Yes get it an then you can select inactive. This way you can always reactivate without having to retake the exam.

Absolutely. You already completed the hard part.

Why would you go through the trouble of passing all four exams and then not get the license??

Absolutely get the license. I forget the term but you can make it inactive and not have to worry about CPE. Then when the times comes (if ever) you need it back, you have to pay some fee and take some course or something to reactivate it. That way if you ever leave your job and want it again you have that option. I had a family member do this

I haven't. But it doesn't seem like OP even wants one.

Yes so you can get the sign-offs for experience

Keep in mind you have to have a certain number of hours doing work with your CPA under a CPA to get fully licensed. Passing all 4 exams doesn’t mean you earned the CPA yet

OP, if you’ve already got the work experience you should 100% get the license.

Yes

Yes

Get the license. If you want to grow into a corporate job, it'll help to have on your resume. (Or potentially change jobs at all..) You will have to do the CPE though, so make sure you have friends in PA to send you links to the free webcasts.

Yes apply! Where are you leaving for?

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
