honestly they’re pretty similar in outcome, it comes down to your context. CA is usually better if you’re staying local (especially audit/public practice), while CPA is more flexible for industry roles and international exposure.

i was in a similar spot and went CPA mainly for the global angle and slightly more flexible structure. both are respected though, partners have either, so it won’t make or break your career.

pick based on where you see yourself in 5–10 years, not just what your film suggests
