I don’t understand the internship thing at all. I mean why do they put so much time in money into Junoirs who may not even get the 150 credits or even 120 credits for that matter than someone with a masters and CPA exam credits tries to talk to them and they just blow them off. It makes no sense when most their employees only last a couple years. If I go to one of their internships for 8 weeks over the summer as a junior I’m automatically hired but if I get 150 credits and pass the CPA exam with no internship there is no chance. This is true at least where I live. And who gets the internships is really political and obviously favors the richer kids who can afford it.

Also what is the chance of a non accounting MBA or business student getting into big 4? A lot of my friends who are finance, economics, and IT majors are trying to do this.

Just to chime in, I was a masters student with no Big 4 internship. Got a full time offer with Big 4. I had to work a little harder to get their attention but there is definitely a chance.

If you have a non accounting major, apply for advisory. There is a chance.

I help with recruiting it is comes down to 80% your personality, 20% your resume. If they don't like you, your resume goes in the trash. If they like you, they will just check to make sure you are on track with school with where they need you to be to be qualified.
