Should i pass the CPA before exiting. I want to leave PA and probably accounting altogether and look for more of a financial analyst type roll. Would it help get hired or higher salary?

Financial analyst jobs here require a finance or accounting degree and two years experience. Usually start around $58-65K for the defense contractor gigs. Auto jump by
$10K if you have a security clearance.

No, if you have a cpa and a background in accounting, that’s all you’re gonna be doing unless you go back to school and get a top MBA or start your own business.

CPA is not a guaranteed component. But it provides more opportunities.

More opportunities in the accounting field. For experienced hired, all they care about is your experience, so if you don’t the experience they’re looking for, your certificates won’t pull any weight

Yes that’s what I’m doing. I have two left

You think it will help?

i have a finance and accounting degree double major and a masters in accounting only one year experience. there’s plenty of entry level i think i’m well qualified for

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
