Hi everyone,
I’ve passed 3 sections and now I’m waiting on Reg. score.
I’m planning to send out my resume staring June when I get back to the states.
My questions are,
1) I would like to start with an auditing sector and get a license in 2-3 years, then decide which sector (tax, audit, consulting, etc) I would fit the best. I was wondering how other people decide which field they want to specialize in.
2) I’m Korean and moved to the states 7 years ago and have 5 years non-accounting business experience in the south. I have an undergraduate degree in BA, and took accounting classes to earn credits necessary to sit for CA CPA exam last year. Without having a dgree in the states, is it almost impossible to get a job in an accounting firm? Or do I still have chances if I get CPA certificate? I speak some Japanese besides English and Korean and I wonder if this would give me some advantages.
And shouldn’t I even consider applying for big 4 because of my education background?
3) There are $3000~$5000 salary increase once an employee passes CPA exam. If I already have passed the exam and get hired, do accounting firms add those CPA incentive into my salary?
I really appreciate people reading my questions. Your answers will help me a lot though.
