I work in "industry". It literally means that I don't work for a CPA firm i.e. public accounting. You're gonna have an easier time if you start out working for a CPA firm, but in my state you do not need public accounting experience to become a CPA. I can't say that I really love my job as an accountant but I don't hate it either. It's hardly a "soul crushing" career like some have described it but yes it can be quite dull at times. It's going to be what you make of it. My advice if you're serious, is to get an internship somewhere and then become a CPA. Be warned though that passing the CPA exam requires a huge time and energy commitment and not everyone can do it. Accounting will almost never be thrilling work but it can be rewarding.

I went straight into industry right before I graduated. While working there I earned my master's and now some years later I would like to move into public accounting, preferably with a small regional firm. Is there anything that can help me or is it too late for me to think about public accounting? Are firms interested in hiring people like me who have accounting experience, just not in public accounting?
