I got promoted to manager and the partner took me out on his boat.

Real talk though think about it like the CPA, nobody GAF until you actually have the 3 letters.

Also I’m not sure they’ll see the value for tax as much as if you were in a corporate finance line of business. They should at least reimburse the cost of the exam though.

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well.

If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
