Yeah every tom dick and harry getting this designation outside of USA making this profession competitive …the way jobs in accounting and finance are getting outsourced who knows how much value it will create for recent grads or even new managers in years to come..,looks like folks will need to develop other skills besides just being licensed as university curriculum does not teach a lot of practical stuff

$300 as a partner seems low, no offense. Long term potential is there I’m sure. I just made MD at a top 10, $400k, mid-Atlantic. To the original question, I’d say it’s worth it.

Yes

Also a CPA but I think you explained it well. I don't have to spend my time explaining to people that I have a certain level of KSA. Also when it comes to actual accounting it's a tough sell if you're not a CPA.

I doubled my salary the year I got my CPA.

No. It's too expensive and not worth the hassle dealing with customers who provide false reporting and you loosing your license on this .

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate. However, their version of refinancing student loans has changed in the last couple years so now they offer you a personal line of credit. Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?
