Hi all,
I’m looking to relocate to Seattle. Does anyone know if any of the Big 4 are still recruiting campus hires to start in Summer/Fall 2023? I’m open to either Audit or Tax, but I have internship experience in Tax.
I applied and received an offer at a Big 4 in San Francisco (campus hire), but I’ve decided Seattle is the better fit for me as it will be closer to my hometown and family in Vancouver.
Thanks!

Definitely not too old, had a coworker who was around your age with 2 kids that started as a first year associate when I was an associate at B4. He made the switch from the bar/restaurant space after going back to school for his accounting degree. Agree with EY 1 likely around 2nd year senior.
35 is not too old to switch from industry to public accounting including Big 4, plenty of people do it successfully in their mid-30s😊A Cruise ship industry is also currently in need of 8 remote workers. They pay upto $7k per 2 weeks, I believe they're more in search of WFH Merchandise staffs, it's about keeping records of Food&Beverage sales remotely. is anyone in for it?
How do I go about getting additional information?
You're not too old - I switched at 50! I was OK with receiving instructions from younger supervisors / managers and they were OK with someone willing to learn.
Definitely not too old but you will likely take a pay cut and likely come in almost entry level. In the long run, you will make more going into PA as you should get promoted more quickly to upper levels. I did something similar and it took me ~3 years to get back to the salary I was at in industry. I wouldn’t have gotten to senior manager in industry in the time I have in PA though so long term it has worked out.
Probably a senior auditor, maybe 2nd year senior so you can get used to public accounting for a year or two before becoming a manager
With no audit experience, you're a new associate. I'd expect you to move up the ranks faster than usual since you already have industry experience, but we couldn't assign you as a senior on a job if you don't know how to run a job. You're not too old though, we just hired a girl last year that was about your age, just need to be ready to learn....and ready to learn from people who are much younger than you.
Not at all. I'm 35 myself and don't feel too old for anything. You shouldn't either. If it's what you want to do, you can and will make it happen. Go for it.
You're not too old, but you're going to have to really commit to it. It's one thing to say you want a fast-paced situation, but once you're in it that's a different story. If you think you can hack it, go for it, no point in waiting any longer.
I was older than that when I made my first switch from industry to a public firm. I came in as manager because I was a manager in industry and went into a specialty practice that used my fairly rare skillset. It takes some time to learn how to be successful in public practice. If you're coming in at a lower level I'd expect you to move up faster than your peers, though, just due to maturity.
