Are you interesting for a senior role with one year of PA experience?

Our group will hire people in as seniors with just one year of experience but then they sit at senior an extra year or two.

Just have some enthusiasm and give good reasons why you want to work at BDO?

Why do you want to go from Big 4 to a National Firm?

There are a few reasons. The promotion itself is a great opportunity. Additionally, the equivalent group to what I’m in at BDO is smaller, so I like the idea of more diverse work experience rather than getting specialized in one specific thing.
