Literally feel stuck without my CPA! I currently work as corporate accountant and have 3 years of public accounting experience specializing in governmental and not-for-profit accounting.

There is not a senior level accounting position for me to move into at my current company and with 4.5 years of experience I feel like I need to move to a senior level to gain some supervisory skills. It seems without my CPA, finding a senior accountant position making 80k/year is not realistic. What can I do?

I’m considering applying for a position at Anchor in their creative department but I’m worried that they are too new to the industry. Does anyone have any input into the company and their growth?

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud - what are your thoughts and is it worth it to specialize in the platform?

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards?

Earned my CPA about a year ago. Am I wrong in thinking it might have been a waste of time? I don’t intend on staying in accounting after this year.
