[OnmywaytoCPA]

I’m currently looking for another job, and I was wondering what a good offer would be at this stage of my career. I have my undergrad degree with a major in accounting and an MBA. I have about nine years of experience, but none as a manager or supervisor. I do have one offer on the table and the starting salary is in the mid fifties with a yearly bonus. I would be starting off at the bottom, but there is a ton of room for growth, and advancement and I’ll get a raise if I get my CPA license. Just wondering if I should take it, or keep looking around. This is my first offer in the past eight months. I have been applying for jobs and going on interview like it’s going out of style. To be honest, I’m exhausted and tired. I’m not sure if I should accept it or not. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

Pursuing CPA has no effect on salary. Its great but doesn't mean anything until you've got a license. The more relevant questions to ask are what is the average salary for *this* position in *this* location. Check out the link that Lilla posted.

AUD -49, 71, 84
