A bit stressed. No job for the fall, which isn’t bad bc time of studying for CPA is golden. Finding a January job is challenging and it sounds crazy waiting until Fall 2026 to find something. Thinking of getting a part time job while I study for CPA and take exams until employment. Any tips on getting Becker without a firm and do firms reimburse for paid out of pocket Becker? How likely is it I’ll get employed in this market in 2026? Finding jobs is awful. I’m not sure how recruitment goes

If you’ve had 2 internships but no job offer you need to self reflect while you study. There is something you’re doing wrong. Either you aren’t enjoyable to work with for some season or you aren’t selling yourself correctly as someone who is teachable.

Two internships at PwC, no return off.

“Over staffed at the associate level in both Mke and Chi” I think it was bs

If you can full time study and work a side gig to cover needs, I think that’s ideal. Once you have your CPA. firm recruiters will be begging you to interview. Also try to enjoy this journey because once you land a full time job, it really never stops. Good luck!

Two internships at PwC, I would also have an answer for that.

I think I remember hearing of some firm(s) reimbursing you for Becker that is paid before you have an offer. It’s not standard though and many won’t reimburse.

Don't game the system by using a shortcut and sharing a Becker system with somebody. If anyone finds out they can prove it, you'll be fired immediately.

Why no offer after internship?

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA
