In case anyone is curious the designation higher than CPA is known as the USTCP. Known as a US Tax Court Practitioner

It’s a designation that is held by less than 300 CPA’s

It allows you to represent your clients in the US Tax Court as their counsel. You’re a non-attorney member of the US Tax Court Bar.

I think very few CPAs are aware of this designation and I just thought I’d share.

Also, you can’t represent anyone if it is a criminal tax case. Even if it falls under the US Tax Court.

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?
