Hi,
Seems like there's a quite a bit of CPAs here so just wanted to get your feedback.
I jumped ship from public acctg (audit) after getting senior title and my CPA. Now I'm working in private industry. It's been a month since I started this new job and, so far, it's pretty fun. However, in about a year, I think I'll be bored at doing this repetitive job. I look at what my bosses are doing and I’ll be depressed if, after several years of doing this, I get promoted to my boss’ position and do what they do. Then, I think about becoming a consultant after getting some private experience under my belt. As a consultant, I’ll be doing different projects so it’ll be challenging. I also think about the fact that accounting in general’s pretty boring so thinking about going into management consulting. From talking to couple of management consultants, it seems like there’s more thinking involved in their job. I also think about going into investment banking because I’ll be in the analyst position and not the getting-the-numbers-right position. I saw a manager in public acct'g who left public to go into private and working as a controller and also involved in operatoins of the company. It was a smaller company but that seemed like an interesting job too so I might go into public acct'g again and see if I can get opportunities like that.
Just wanted to hear from fellow CPAs.
