Hey guys
I have started my studies for FIA FA1. I am 29 years old and changing career from IT to accountancy.
I am currently unemployed and studying from home.I have no accountancy experience or qualifications as yet but what I wanted to ask is, is it worth me applying for accountancy jobs? would anyone take me at this sort of level?
I live in Dublin but looking to relocate back to London.
Any advice will be most appreciated
many thanks Guys

All the best. It will be tough at your age to find a job in accountancy. Normally they recruit people with experience.
However you have the advantage of having worked in the IT sector. So it will be a great plus for you.
Yes, because 29 is just so old????
OP, please ignore the above. The are people changing careers to accountancy in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. I’m not saying you will walk straight into a job but to be told that it will be tough simply because of your grand old age of 29 is just ridiculous. Yes, lack of experience will always be the issue, but that’s the case for everyone regardless of if you are 18 or 48. You will just have to gain experience, whether that be via volunteer work, or maybe taking an entry level job to begin with.

I don’t think so this is the right time to apply for certified CPA jobs. But if you could get something like internship under one certified CPA it would turn out to be beneficial. If you need any help regarding this consult very good and reputed CPA In California named Pun And McGeady.
