Just finish your degree and don’t delay. Business major is good and will give you enough opportunities.

+1 to just finish your degree. But don’t worry about trying to generate a plan or path. Just get out there and do things. It sounds cliche but just being active and taking initiative will help clarify things. Focus on what your naturally curious about and drawn to. 9 out of 10 times if you just do that and build real competency in a few things bc you enjoy them there will be opportunities to get paid well for them. Just do stuff, iterate, and do work your drawn to.

Working as a Senior Accountant at Vanguard with my CPA; 3 YOE, Greater Philadelphia area. Took this job to give accounting one more try and while I don’t regret it I’m bored. Anything in finance more challenging/less box-checking? People have recommended public but I’m not interested in audit/tax or travel.

Becoming less and less interested in continuing with the CPA exam. Staff 2 studying for a year with 0 exams passed. What're my options without finishing? I don't think I will actually be able to pass.......

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
