So, is the demand for accountants actually as high as people claim? Or is the job market tightening up way more than the media is willing to admit? I really expected recruiters to be chasing me down, but instead I find myself competing with dozens of other applicants for every single role. What are you all seeing out there?

I am getting interviews, but everything has a ton of competition. It's not the easy market people talk about.

What kind of roles are you looking for? If you have a few years in public accounting you should be able to find something soon

Demand in public accounting is really high, depending on your level and area of expertise. Our tax team is having a really hard time finding good managers/ senior managers. Most of them seem to oversell themselves and the level of mistakes on their returns is worrisome for someone of their level. Seniors/associates not so much because there is a push to offshore the staff level work, plus a steady stream of college grads in the pipeline.
