@suzzette1 – waiting on FAR in CA as well…nothing yet

[TechnicConcepts]

MY GPA is alright as well, 3.55 Undergrad, 3.65 Grad, and 3.8 major Gpa.

So Jeff, with the later than predicted score release for BEC do you think it's more likely we will see scores from Nov. 12? Or is it still just a toss up? Waiting on my last one and I took it 11/12!

FAR 78
REG 78
AUD 77
BEC took 11/12

@VAActgGrad All the Big 4 have a high turnover rate

[VAactgGrad]

@ Georgina, that'd be great! All my acquaintances in the big 4 are not my close friends. I met a lot of these individuals at an accounting conference so didn’t think it was appropriate to ask for benefits before I’m even offered a position. I’m hoping my friends would hurry up and get hired in an accounting firm so I can ask probing questions.

@Technic,

I can imagine what you are going through. I graduated in May of this year from a school that didn't have a formal recruit arrangement with the big 4. I'm told that it'll be difficult to get into the big 4 now which is one of the reasons for my looking at a large firm other than the big 4. If i get into law school, i may get a chance to go to a recruiting event. I'm also working full time, but even worse than you, i work in a non-accounting field. I'd have to get my 2k hrs of experience from scratch to get my license. From what I hear, our best bet is to get our resumes submitted through an inside person. I’m going to finalize my resume after I get results for my 3rd section of the exam. Just hoping it’ll be good news and hopefully having 3 parts of the CPA down will help move my resume towards the top of the pile.

Yea Bob, unfortunately, thats also what i found. PwC seems to be a leader in that area according to some stats i ran into.

No score release @11am in CA

[Bob Moritz, CPA]

Kobe you will get a score in the morning in CA

[TechnicConcepts]

@VAactgGrad

The funny part is I did give my resume to a number of my friends who work in the big four but still nothing! Its like their smoking crack, hiring these college kids over me! A VP that I work with was a ex-manager at one the big 4 firms and gave in my resume. But still nothing!!!! These stupid HR people need to get off of Facebook and start doing some real work!!

[kobebryant168]

@basia A, did you type my name earlier?

@ bob, I heard they are releasing in the afternoon?

[jean3019]

@VAactgGrad

sure you can contact me.

on the bonus i am not sure if it is still on or not.

BEC 77(expired), 84
AUD 85
FAR 80
REG 67, 81

Its just the nature of the beast with Big 4 only about 20% of people have aspirations of making it to the Partner lever in the Big 4. Most come to the Big 4 because of the experiences you can get and then go and work for clients. If you are basing you decision on who has the lowest/highest trunover that could be wrong. PwC could have a high turnover because they have great clients that their people leave to go work for. The benefits are mostly the same with small variances. All will have a tuition reimbursement plan, 401k, and the promise of work/life balance. As I said earlier go where you feel that the people are most like you.

@kobebryant168

I think I did… I just don't remember what we were talking about 🙂

[kobebryant168]

lol, forget it then

no score in CA

[VAactgGrad]

@Technic

I think I also qualify as one of those college kids, but I completely understand your frustration! Hopefully, your VP's contacts would have some clout. Also, try LinkedIn, alot of HR recruiters look for candidates there. Seems like you have more relevant experience in the accounting field than I, so you might have better luck.
