@k917: Is there a prime time for experienced hires to find work at the Big 4?

I think a lot of people end up leaving right before or right after busy season so you should look now for open positions (or maybe should've started looking in December). Otherwise, it depends on the firms fiscal year and when they announce promotions – I know people like to leave after getting promoted and having that higher title.

I agree with MRSJLeon917. I started from the beginning so I don't have any inside knowledge of the experienced hire process.

And not to hijack the thread, but @MRSJLeon917 – what does the 917 mean in your username? I only ask cause I have 917 in mine too.

Most big 4 start off their hires in the fall. Usually its september or october. However, I'm sure there are other dates they would bring experienced hires on.

In agreement with everyone else, and coming from Big 4 experience.. they will start looking in the fall (Sept-October) for campus recruits (mainly interns) who would start the following summer. Ex: Interview process October 2013 for a June 2014 summer internship position… which would hopefully lead to an October 2015 full time position.

Thanks for this – one of my friends is an attorney at a Big 4 and wants to meet with me to discuss my resume/work this weekend. Not that this gets me an automatic in by any means, but at least I'll find out more what they want and possibility of getting an interview! I'll definitely be done with my CPA by fall time, even by summer. Big motivation that I just got from that 🙂
