Mostly you work less hours. Again, it depends on what you do and your expertise.

Totally depends on specialty and company/role. I did strategic tax planning in-house but that’s obviously night and day from compliance or other boring BS.

Depends on how well the tax department is managed. I had an industry manager. Clueless about how to implement technology and best practices since she didn't have that experience in PA. As a result, there was a lot of cleanup needed and it seemed I was going to be tasked with it. Decided to go back to PA as it was a cluster.

Comp question. Interviewing at Facebook (Meta) for Growth Marketing Manager role, remote/Hybrid in NYC. Meta Recruiter said base $145k, bonus, $65k equity & Base was not negotiable. However this seems a bit lowball. Compared to 180+ base I’ve seen on Glassdoor and base Meta shared for the role for those from Colorado ~157k, the base is low given higher cost of NYC living. Is it possible to negotiate this to be closer to the 157-160k range? Currently a growth manager, 6+ years exp in marketing.

I don’t get why my state board has to be so difficult giving me a CPA license! I have 150 credits, passed the exams, have a bachelors in business and a masters in accounting. Any suggestions? Everywhere I look online has courses that are equivalent to the ones I’ve taken already. By the way, The board said I am deficient just 10 credit hours of upper level accounting courses (300+) for licensure.

Would it be wiser to spend my time learning how to invest or studying for the CPA and then learning how to invest? My goal is to achieve financial independence and retire early. To be honest, I’d like to use my job as a source to fund my investing, so that’s why I’m not sure if I would want to study for the CPA if my end goal isn’t necessarily to be a partner or anything. I’m in my early 20s.
