If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

^I believe OP is referring to opportunities outside of accounting. So the longer you stay, the harder it is to transition outside the field.
We're in accounting - that's what limits us to a Corporate career path. Depends - the longer you stay in it, the more limited your options become, but there's always need for your skills at startups and local businesses. It's totally possible to be your own boss.
Like in accounting, I'm not sure what career paths there are besides partner and corporate accounting? I guess consulting, but that's similar to a partner career path. Potentially you can do F,P&A, but probably need some finance or transactions background along the way. Hard to make a jump from SM audit directly into a SM F, P&A role.
Friend of mine was an audit senior manager, basically they told him he wasnt going to make partner, he left and is now coo at a regional elctric and plumbing distribution company. You can do anything with a cpa and a good amount of experience
This is interesting... is this unique to audit? Over in national tax the koolaid is the longer you stay the more opportunities snd $$$ on the other side.
I see.
Thank you for clarification.
If you didn't like accounting, then why did u major in it?
