I am thinking about taking the American CPA exams in the state where the education and work expierence requirements are the fewest. But will it mean if I get a job in New York where the CPA requirements are tougher, I can't call my self a CPA because I've not met that state's CPA requirements?
I don't have any accounting work expierence. So I was thinking that I would just get a CPA from an easy requirements state like Illinois which has no work expierence requirements and then once I get the work expierence requirements for NY, I would just transfer my CPA to an NY CPA. But if I get a IL CPA, does it mean I can only practice in IL to get my work expierence (because I really want to move to NYC after I take my exams from a state which has low education and work expierence requirement)?
Help would be most appreciated!
