    I haven’t worked in 5+ years, and accepted a $30,000 position at a small CPA firm. I then canceled an interview (which I am 95% sure I would have got) that pays almost double that amount (I later found out).

    Should I take this job and keep looking, or reneg and keep looking? I would prefer to hand deliver my resume as I did this for the job I canceled an interview with and I think it made a huge difference (but maybe it’s even better to look while having a current job on my resume).

    I think I would find something pretty quickly as firms are gearing up for the season. It also only took me about a month of real search to land this one.

    Thanks everybody. I'm going to stick it out at this place, network my tail off, and jump ship as soon as I find something better (that I would hope and expect to be market rate). I hope this happens by February when some firm might need the extra staff. Otherwise 6 months or more, almost getting licensed, etc.; if it takes that long, well that's just the way it is. Chalk this whole thing up to experience. Thanks again.

    Sounds like a good plan to me, Dave. Have you started your new job yet? It sounds like you'll have your experience requirement met by next tax-season, so worst-case scenario by next tax-season-hiring you'll be able to market yourself as a CPA-by-tax-season!
