Is there a role for a CPA that wants to get into data analytics? Senior audit associate now that wants to exit to get experience with SQL, Python etc. but don’t want to start all over. What roles can I look at where I could leverage my CPA experience but still learn about analytics?

In the same boat! I'm looking into business intelligence roles, they can sometimes lean Data Viz but its interesting to me.

If you're not really interested in Data Viz, then I'd suggest ramp up your technical skills and look at Data Engineering roles.

Given our background I haven't found as much luck the super technical route (DA, DE, DS) and seems id have to start at entry level. But finding roles that have a business aspect to them, allows me to position for middle management and satisfactory pay.

I did this! I leveraged a portfolio of personal projects to get an entry level tech consulting role. When I brought it to Deloitte, they offered me a transfer if I finished my busy season. Left as an S2

Now doing data engineering work as a consultant.

If you don’t want to start over, look into deals analytics. Most FDD companies have a group for this, will give you a good blend of accounting and analytics and will open doors to other data jobs.

I have two offers, one from Am Law 100 firm and one from Am Law 200 firm. Am Law 200 firm is offering 40K more (otherwise the firms have same hours target and, based on discussions, similar culture). I’m trying to decide between the two based on long term career prospects, both offer opportunity for NEP (not sure how realistic it is at either). Also not sure of overall earning potential down the road. Is the 40K now worth it or am I likely to make that up at the Am Law 100 firm in the future?
