Considering Houston for Accounting/Finance career, any suggestions?

Hello, I’m in Florida wrapping up a double major in Accounting and Finance (set to graduate in Spring 2026). I've been looking for cities in which my major thrives in—now I’m seriously considering moving to Houston in the next 3–5 years. I just turned 20 years old and I'm currently working as a tax accountant intern making about $30/hr (roughly $50k/year) at a public accounting firm in Miami, FL.

I’d love your insight on a few things:

1. Is Houston a good place to build an accounting/finance career?
2. After undergrad, should I go for a Master’s in Finance, a Master’s in Accounting, or should I focus on getting my CPA license in FL first? (Not sure if CPA license is transferrable between states).
3. I'm not sure if I want to be an accountant as I've always had a big interest in wealth management/private equity. Would also love some input on those fields.
4. What’s the overall work culture like in Houston? I’m curious what it’s like living/working there long-term. (I'm Hispanic/Middle Eastern but English is my first language, and I haven't read the best things about Houston with my race…)

Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful.
