You don't NEED to do it, but if you've made enough progress to gain a lot* of cosmic shares, you can catch up to where you were in a few hours or less. I'm currently gaining 108 company levels every time I sell my company and ascending when I have 10,000 company levels. The only thing is, apart from the new girl and a couple of pics, all I'm using ascension for is making it faster to get to the next ascension.

However, if you don't currently gain the top prize at the weekly tourney, you should absolutely ascend to get a few levels of +x prestige and shares, to boost your overall income and help you top out quicker. Just don't forget to also get level skips so you can get back to where you were quickly.

*My first ascension was at company level 500, second time I went for 1,000. That was time consuming (6 hours or so), but after that it started snowballing.
