The CPA increases your long term earnings potential. Most firms have a license requirement to get promoted to a certain level, typically manager. You’ll also be more marketable for jobs outside of PA.

Depends on company. Typically most of big 4 firm give you certain amount of bonus based on what year you completed the test. I have heard they might even reimburse your becker fee. BUT no impact on your annual salary.

None. If you're a brand new hire you might get a couple grand more than an unlicensed peer starting in the same class as you, but that's it.

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2). Is there much of a premium in terms of pay for the accountants in the current tech cities? Is a career in FAANG as an accountant better than public accounting if you never expect to make partner? There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.
