We are targeting sophomores now, too, which is insane because they haven't even taken intermediate accounting yet. What is this world coming to?

I hate when I ask a candidate "tax or audit" and they tell me they haven't taken either class yet. Then we give them an offer anyway. *face palm*

I didn't even decide on an accounting until the end of my sophomore year and had I applied with the current recruiting structure, I would've been way too late

Exactly! Wish my social security withholding was only 1% like it was for them! No wonder it's so hard to save now.

My office filled about 95% of our intern spaces with kids from the sophomore program. And then fills 98% of the full time spots with interns. So basically if you're not in by late fall/winter of sophomore year, your chances of getting in are so slim.

So what we do is make them take 5 years to get the degree, but we hire them during their second year. Weird.

I didn't decide on accounting until after obtaining an undergrad in something else and then realizing I didn't want to do law school. I'm quite glad, though, because that's how I ended up at Moss Adams.

As long as we can convince gen Z to give us their money life will be fine. That's what the boomers/silent generation/gen x have done to us and it seems to be working for them.

Gen x is one of the smaller generations compared to the boomers and millennials. Gen x had to pay for the boomers which is a much much larger group and gen x are still working they are not old enough to retire yet

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
