The firm pushes you to take the exam in order to keep you in the firm for the three years. Many of my friends who want to leave but are tied down by this 3 years ATO commitment.
Orange firm for audit relatively has better welfare and culture compared to the other three. So it might not be that bad.
In terms of the value of the cert, maybe the opportunities slightly more advantageous compared to those without for accounting roles.

Thanks for the response! I’ve heard people saying “better job opportunities” but is this really true? Actually most seniors/AMs/managers I’ve spoken to don’t have CA. Some that have left in the past few months don’t have CA too but seem to find jobs easily? Let’s say I intend to pursue internal audit, is having a CA a hard requirement? From what I understand internal audit has its own certifications as well. Sorry for the many qns… trying to figure out if I really want to stay here for 3 years, just did my first peak and I want to die
