In the US you have to be CPA eligible. In your state, if 150 hours are required, you can do that through a graduate degree or through a local community college (in Texas, at least).

Which, hilariously, is how it was 20 years ago. I've been a CPA since 2007 and only have 132 college credits. It changed to 150...made no difference in quality of new hires but drove kids away from the profession....and now we're going back to what it was before. I always preferred the candidates that told me they took extra random summer classes at community college to meet the 150 over the ones that wasted a whole extra year in school getting a masters of accounting that no one cares about.

Hi all.

I'm having more than 12 yrs of experience and current ctc is 11.20 excluding night shift and variables. I've given interview in bny got shortlisted and submitted the documents. Initially interview was for I grade in fund accounting. After documentation hr said they r hiring me for h grade I get ready for that too with offer of 12 lakh. But all of sudden hr is saying she is not confirm whether I'll get offer or not. They are bluffing all around to giving my offer. What should I do now

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
