Hello
First post so go easy on me. I'm about to be 34 years old and I currently work in a dead end job with no real oppourtunity for advancement. It's in the Accounting department for a software company. I recently passed the CPA exam. I was able to pass all 4 parts on the first try in about an 8 month time span so I'm pretty good at studying/remembering stuff/test taking, whatever you want to call it. I'm not licensed since I don't have the experience qualification yet since I never worked under a CPA.
I haven't even been able to get an interview at any public accoounting firms. I have been putting some serious thought into taking on the CFA hoping that it would make me qualifed for some niche job. Mergers & Acquisitions comes to mind. What are some other jobs where the CPA/CFA combo would be good to have? Is it a good idea to take on the challenge? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
