I’m 30 with six years of accounting experience. I want that big boy job in 10 years making the big dough. Currently have no audit/tax experience. Have never worked for a CPA firm. Have two masters (MBA and MSF) and hopefully soon a CPA. My current employer pays for most certifications and training I want to attain (definite perk). I make good money now but my company’s future is not bright. I have no managerial experience. I work 40+ hours a week now. I have my first child on the way in 13 weeks.

So the question is…do I look at Big 4 opportunities soon or even medium size firms so that I can get the experience I need to not only build my resume, but also get the experience I need to be successful at that big boy job? Some would say that it would be starting at the bottom…which I guess it is. But long term it might be the best choice. And yes I know it depends on the person, but just looking for some general opinions.

What say you good people of the forum?
