Should I go for an MBA?
I’m currently a staff 2 and feeling burnt out on audit. Performing well but the work is not very rewarding for me and I’m also looking for a faster promo & raise pace than is available in B4 audit. I’m considering pivoting to advisory as well, ultimately want to end up in an exec role (prob CFO). I would only go for an MBA if I make it into a top 25 program - is it worth the boost or would you stick it out and stay the course in accounting? Already have my CPA
