Hey, I’m currently in a master’s program for my 150 credits. I have a great GPA and have passed the CPA. I applied to all the Big 4 for summer internships, but they aren’t even interviewing me! What is wrong?? It’s so disheartening to know that you worked so hard, and that people who are much less on in their CPA careers are getting the interviews instead of you. I thought taking and passing the CPA was a good initiative? Do they think I’m too good for them? I know of a couple of people in the same situation. It has nothing to do with interview skills, which I have, because they won’t even interview!

I don't believe my luck has changed at all as we go further into the recruiting season and my chances are slipping further and further away from a B4 gig.

Anyone have advice for me???!!!

Hope you don't mind me asking, but can you update us on what you've done since first post? Have you attended events, walked into firms, met with career center, etc. etc.? Just want to get a feel on whether there's anything you haven't tried.
