Might as well keep it active since it was a hard test no?

I know it's four tests thanks. Aud reg bec and far.

Looks nice. But no additional benefits or advantages really day to day.

Yes you absolutely should.

I left public accounting 5 years ago. I’m in strategy now. It’s been inactive ever since.

I downgraded mine to “registered” status (not sure that’s a thing in all states)... basically, can say I am a CPA on resume/LinkedIn/etc., but can’t practice public accounting

Just did some research on the rules in my state (MI) and filled out a simple application.... no CPE requirements either

I'm a 1st year @ a civil lit defense firm. I summered here and got the "our firm culture is amazing, we want to grow and help you learn" pitch and accepted the offer of $75k, thinking that was what most other associates make (I'm 1st gen). But today I found out that associates with 4yrs experience are making $80k; for hitting the 1950 billable req., the bonus is $1k. I've also found there are big DEI problems that I can't overlook. It feels like the pitch was a big lie. Advice?

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients. The role sounds great (no billable hours, fully remote, flexible hours/ can work from anywhere); however, the salary is $70K. I’m a new attorney, with only one year of experience. Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?

I’m leaving next week.
