I have a schedule interview later this week at a public accounting firm. I currently do not hold any accounting experience at all. But I did however manage to pass cpa exam and have all educational credits met. All I would require would be a year of experience to obtain my cpa license. Is it wrong for me to ask at the end of the interview of course ” when an employee obtains their cpa license are their wages renegotiated ?”

Any input would be great

THANKS TO GOD

I wouldn't in an interview. You'll have time to ask during salary negotiations.

Yeah, if anything just ask general questions about certifications/continuing education and see what they volunteer.

Generally you shouldn't mention anything about wages in a first interview – wait for negotiations. From what I've gathered most public firms do give raises for certification, but you don't want to mention it till they do pre-employment. After you're employed, ask your boss for a raise all you want. 😉
