CPA doesn’t seem to give much of a salary increase at the entry level, especially in public accounting. With how hard it already is to get entry-level roles because of AI and offshoring, it honestly feels mentally difficult to invest even more time and energy into accounting. Initially, I was determined to pursue the CPA but I'm having second thoughts now. For those of you who got the CPA, do you regret the time and effort you spent on it? Looking back, would you say it was worth it for your career and opportunities?
