    I have an MBA in Accounting and am a CPA. My experience is within the Finiancial Services industry. I have exposure in brokerage, trading, back/middle office, risk mitigation and some light audit and accounting work.

    Would the Big 4 even look at someone like me b/c of my age? I believe that i would be an asset to any of their Financial Services divisions with my experience. Would that see it that way?

    If not, which direction do you think i should go in given my experience?

    I am still employed making decent money, just wanted a change.

    DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @ unDeR & CPATerminator

    I have an idea and I'm still thinking about the feasibility from now. Once I finish analyzing the ins and outs of the idea, I'll take action. I'm thinking about starting a thread for people in this forum who have completed their CPA and have at least a year of experience in accounting (preferably public) and looking to work for a Big4 firm. I will then provide an email address where people will be able to interact with me if they are interested by the opportunity.

    What do you guys think about that?

    REG: 68, 75
    AUD: 80
    BEC: 77
    FAR: 24, 67, 69, 72, 80 Thank you Lord!!!!

    Finally Done! Perseverance is the key to success

    Hi Path To CPA,

    I would also appreciate your help. I received my CPA license last year and have over two years of internal audit experience. Currently, I am not working and find that it is difficult to get into a firm. Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Path to CPA

    That is great that you offer such a service. I would love to get the help myself!

    I recently passed the exam in NY and have accounting experience in a private firm.

    I am currently looking to move to public firm.

    Thank you in advance!
