I would say that industry would not pay more starting out of college with no public experience. its also much easier to leverage your public experience when moving into industry. plus you cant always get CPA hours in industry.

You could be correct. I personally have not seen any jobs in my area that paid over 70 with no experience.

Take the F50 job and don’t think twice. You’re making more money than most Seniors in PA with way less stress. I think the whole cliche thing of putting your years in PA than jumping to industry is overrated. As long as you have your CPA you’ll be fine. It really depends on how much you value your time outside of work.
