reached out to me about an opportunity to work as an associate in Tax. They may come back to me next week regarding an interview. I’m 28 years old and still haven’t passed any part of the CPA exam (but hoping to do so soon). Should I consider staying private or explore the public opportunity?

Good Morning!

There might be a better bowl for this, if so, let me know! I know there are a lot of consultants on here. I have a first round interview at Deloitte next week. This first interview is a 30 minute HR screen. It is for a marketing position. Anyone have any words of advice or thoughts on the interview process? Any thoughts on the culture. I’ve already checked out Glassdoor and some past FB posts.

Thanks!
