Looking at possibly starting to work towards getting my CPA license and/or transitioning to public accounting. Currently working in a smaller/mid sized Non-profit as an accounting analyst/lead accountant. Currently have 10+ years in various industries including in municipal government in Ontario, Canada as well as some bookkeeping experience. Wondering if it is worth getting my CPA (the cost is a factor that I doubt my current employer will help with).

Hi everyone! I ‘m trying to transition into learning development. Any advice? Which jobs should I apply to? If you’re already in L&D what is your day to day experience?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

International tax manager with 7 years experience all at KPMG. Thinking about switching to industry to see it from a new perspective and do similar work from a different angle.

Am I asking too much?
