Hello, I am two classes away from achieving my Masters of Accountancy. My bachelors is in business administration. I am currently shifting career paths and focused on accounting rather than my sales experience. I have completed a Staff audit internship. I can’t seem to even get in the door anywhere with my experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on entry level positions or careers in accounting that are good to get your foot in the door so I can start my career?

If you're getting a Master's, why are you not interviewing with the big 4? We predominantly hire interns (most of whom are extended offers at the end of the internship), which would be your best bet, but we also round out starting classes with people who did not intern. Have you tried career services at your University?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
