I got into my new career quite late, being in my 50's. Currently work in industry as an Accounting Clerk while finishing my education and taking the CPA exams. Now that I am done, I need the proper work experience for Wisconsin. This can be in industry as long as it is higher level stuff. I have started applying to small CPA firms in the area but I also see corporate accountant jobs available and wonder which one I would be more happy with. My next job move will most likely be my last, so I would like to make the right choice for me.
I know this is difficult for anyone else to answer as everyone likes different things. I guess I'm just looking for any insight into pros and cons someone might see. I have not done taxes except my own and my family's through the years, although I have never minded figuring them out. I think I would like financials and the bookkeeping side of things. Never done auditing, but I do like searching for errors and why things happened. Obviously I need lots of experience at this point, but where? Any suggestions or insight from anyone that has worked in both?
