You should be able to work somewhere else while you are waiting to start but I’d reach out to your recruiter to make sure you can work at a client
No problem. Internship is alright.
Can you not push for an earlier start date at B4? I know the offer is standard but there might be some flexibility if you think win-win when talking with the recruiter. It might be advantageous to them if they have a staffing need on the client you just worked with, similar client, etc.
Start the convo with: “I’m really excited to join, I’d love to get started as soon as possible and continue building upon the work I was doing this Summer. Is there any flexibility to start sooner?
I tried that but unfortunately the answer was no
1. Check whether your offer states that you can’t work with any of their competitors before you start
2. If you’re international, you’d have to start within 90 days of your EAD
If both don’t apply to you, you’re good to go

The only people who can give you an answer here work at the B4 you have an offer from.
It’s probably fine, but it could be an issue, and the only way to know is ask.
I don’t know but I would use this time to study for the CPA and /or travel
I do major in accounting but work in management consulting, is a CPA license required or recommended? I heard that people don’t value CPA in consulting.
