I’ve seen advice on here about applying for roles you may think you’re overqualified for in terms of YOE. I have 5 YOE in consulting. Should I be targeting roles with minimum requirement of 2-3 years rather than 5+ years?

I would think of it slightly differently - a lot of people from consulting (me being one) fall into this pattern of “well my 5 years is like 7+ years in industry” but for Google at least the minimum truly is the minimum - in your case, ya apply to things that say 5 if you want but don’t even bother thinking about anything that says 6+ years.

Yeah

Yep

I’d say in general yes unless your work experience fits the job description really really well.

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.
