Does industry experience (ie 2 years as an accounts payable specialist) help when applying for tax associate at big 4 firms? I have an Economics BA, and am going to finish 150 credits in Dec 2019.

It will help in the sense that when you interview you would be able to talk about experiences of how you successfully juggled work/school, how you showed leadership or kept track of deadlines at work etc

That being said, if you pass the interviews you will be starting as a first year staff the same as everyone else out of college as your experience does not directly relate to what you will be doing in public.

Yeah it probably helps. It is not that hard to get a job though lol you’ll probably get it with no issues.

I think this is very market dependent. While competitiveness is nowhere near IB/management consulting..my market turns down a ton of qualified candidates. Easy if you go to flagship state school though

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
