I have been with my current firm for 2 years. It is a local firm and is small. Right now I regret that I did not apply for any big accounting firms When I was in college. Although, my friends complain about how much they have to work, I still want to work for one of the big firms.

I just completed CPA exam and applying for the license, I was thinking it may give me more advantage to apply for those big firms. However, I have heard that it is almost impossible to get into big four or other big firms after graduation.

Has anyone found a job in one of the big firms after working for a local accounting firm? How did you do it?

@IB553, thank you! I am applying for the full-reporting license since I have enough public accounting work experience. I am gathering all of the paperwork that I need and planning on send them next week. How long is the process? I hope that I can get my license in November.
I honestly don't see any entry level position in big four firms, only senior auditor positions and I know that I am not qualified. I am going to have interviews with two good size regional accounting firms and one national accounting firm. Hopefully, I will get some offers.
