Does anyone have experience going from industry to public? I have 4 years of experience and I’m waiting on my last CPA score. Everytime I look at job postings, they seem to require public experience

You can join but you might have to come in as an associate

I did! I had a really hard first year but its totally possible. I was a Senior Accountant in PW and moved into Public on the Tax side w/o a Masters or CPA but I do have 10 years of experience. Best advice is to use recruiters to help position you for the jump. You need a good story why you want to make the change but if you are genuine in your interest to change, most public firms would be happy to have you.
