State job or PA career path, then transition to state job? Ultimately want to have state job and side business as a long term plan. But I am open to opposing advise. Would likely pivot to a sub senior position in PA as I do not have CPA yet - 4 YOE in the field of accounting, but do meeting licensure requirements, once passed. MCOL, my area basically only has Wipfli, few decent private sector jobs, or working for the state for decent pay & great benefits. Thanks for your input

If you have a state job opportunity and that is where you want to end up, then I would just skip PA.

Agree, skip PA if you’re not in it for that job. Don’t believe all the hype professors tell you that you need your 2 years of PA. I’ve gotten so burned out on those individuals rolling through over the years.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
