The Ivy League Schools may not have this major, but they sure as hell need an accountant.

Ivies don't have any preprofessional undergrads (or at least Harvard doesn't according to my Harvard alumna spouse). Is being a doctor a bad profession because Harvard doesn't have pre-med?

Btw audit and tax associates start at 90K + now in NYC which is where Cornell grads would go. But most likely accounting grads from these two schools would go into advisory not audit or tax.

Did you go to Ivy League? Why do you care what majors they have? What does that comment even mean?

Ok yea mb im stop being sensitive

“Ok” <<<< actual response

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience).

When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?

The big four conspire to pay CPAs far less than we are worth. Partners are paid millions and you’re only making $75k. You should have been starting at twice that.
