    Thank you, Bill, for sharing this great information! I wish you could make another content regarding career path opportunities of other sections like tax, advisory, etc, in public accounting companies. Also, I believe adding two factors of AGE and AI to each career path opportunity would be so helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi, I really enjoy your content. I am currently a senior accountant for a PE company with a background in private accounting. I’ve been deliberating between making a pivot into FP&A or almost starting over and applying for a state government audit position. The reason I want to try audit is because I later want to get into consulting and I’ve been advised that that’s the route to go. Do you have any advice or thoughts on this career pivot?

Would you say that an Assistant Controller can ultimately transition well into a Controller role? Do you have any advice on starting a career on a startup co?

    Is it true that there is shortage of accountanta in USA?
    There is a educational institution in India which is selling this, and encouraging to get CPA and move to America from India.
    What salary can I expect if i decide to move to US after getting CPA? I have around 9 years experience as a Senior Accountant

    Here’s a question…when is it too late to consider becoming CPA. I’ve worked in accounting for over 10 years and earn a decent salary. But I noticed job posts are requiring certifications regardless of years of experience

      If you are already an Accountant, I don't think there is a limit (but not 70 obviously). I would think even if you are 50, CPA will give you a great ROI on the effort (but the younger, say 25-40, the better)

    I currently work in banking for a credit union. After getting my CPA would it be more beneficial for me to leave to get some public accounting experience and return to banking or apply for a position with my accounting department and work my way up the ranks that way? Big fan of your channel and thanks in advance for your advice.
