    The feeling of receiving your first Big 4 Tax offer in an excellent Midwest city is amazing. I am so happy! Life has never been better 🙂

    Cumulative GPA: 3.47, average state school, 150 credits by May 2016.

    I got the verbal offer while I was driving home from my office visit last Friday, less than an hour after I left the office. I received the formal offer today, and I will be accepting it soon. In my opinion, I have average credentials, and below average for the typical Big 4 intern. How is it that people with 3.8+ GPA and every extracurricular in the book don’t even make second round yet someone like me with below average credentials somehow gets an offer?

    Regardless, I’m going to relax and enjoy my last 1.75 years in college before life gets real.

    The only AMA I was familiar with was American Medical Association. I'm 32, and just had to google SMH a few months ago… Maybe it has been a year.

    All of this fuss about Motorcycles…

    I tend to keep a 30,000 foot view of the drama unless someone emails me and then I scroll in.

    I don't know what was edited for dramas-sake, if anything (maybe I misinterpreted the inference that something was deleted/edited.

    I like the insight you bring, big4expert…please don't be a stranger.

    @bigfourexpert: If there's a way for me to message you, I'd love to know it. I navigated the site, and don't see any option for individual messages to you. I had a few rejections already, although I was stiff and can see my mistakes now. Luckily I have a few more interviews coming.



    @multimediawill
    : Congratulations

    @everyone: AMA?
