    I was reading a discussion about Big 4 Accounting firms and someone suggested that it’s easier to get into Audit if you are “hot” or “good looking.” Reason for this was that you’re expected to be a good sales person in the audit team, to sell services to client (e.g. people in IT Audit can suggest further services). He said that all the auditors he had seen had one thing in common-very good looks. Is there any truth to this notion or does he have a warped view of reality?

    @ mystical guy – I honestly don't know. All I know is that a lot of the women who attend the association meetings like the IMA and CalCPA are either hot or cute. Or maybe it is just me who is attracted to Smart Professional Women. Believe me, I see a woman is a good looking and in nice dress suit and it turns me on.

    Lol. I don't blame you. I have a friend at PWC who told me everyone at his office could be on the cover of a magazine, at least the new people they hire. I hope these firms give me a shot based on merit coz I'm not one of those “hot” people lol

    It's just not you, a lot of people are attracted to good looking professional women. They're such good looking, they are attracted to each other.

    @ mystical guy – The last place that I work at was for a nonprofit in the AP department. A lot of the women were probably in their 40's at the place, but I tell you what, they were still HOT! The head of Payroll who was is her 40's was still looking great. I love the fact that my desk was facing her office because i got to see her all the time especially when she was wearing these sexy dress suits.

    Haha funny thread. Well maybe I'm the outlier here but while I've definitely seen some fine-looking women, I've also seen my fair share of busted ones. Men too, for that matter. So, I don't think it will be an issue one way or the other :).

    I used to play soccer with one of the partners at KPMG here in Miami, and he told that they for every 10 employees they hire, 6 had to be good looking with above 3.0 GPA and 4 high GPA nerds regardless of looks. He said that most of the time if they had to pick between an attractive woman with a 3.0 GPA and a very average looking girl with a 3.70, they will go for the attractive one. He used to tell me that at the end of the day good looking people sell themselves easier in an interview, and owners of companies love to be audited by good looking women. Maybe this is a Miami thing,bear in mind, we do have a hot climate.
