Looking for a little advice here….
Quick recap, have 5 years experience as entry-level accountant/bookkeeper in private, then went into public as a Staff 1 for 1.5 years but went back into private for 5 months to complete the CPA exams. Now that I have been licensed it’s time to find the job that will really launch my career. I’m of the opinion finding a job at a Big4 firm will be most beneficial for my future and resume BUT I am on the wrong side of 25 and feel like I may have priced myself out of a Staff position with my current salary but at the same time have no actual senior experience in public. Sorry for the run on sentences.
The question is….what would you do in my shoes? Am i overvaluing having a Big4 firm on my resume? If I was set on getting into a Big4 firm, any advice on how to do it? (Throwing in a random application feels like a long shot) At a point in my life where im ready to work my a$$ of for a couple years and private feels like a “back 9” gig
