Hello,
I was wondering if you guys thought it worthwhile for me to attend my Alma matter for 1 grad-school class (next year)? I can then claim I’m getting my MBA to rely upon on-campus recruiting.
This job search has been beyond disastrous. I want to get into audit, but it seems that the only way to land a relatively junior audit gig is through on campus recruiting.
I have multiple contacts, within multiple firms, but quite a few people, including HR individuals, have told me that outside of campus recruiting, it’s incredibly difficult to get into a mid+ tiered firm outside of the standard pipeline. I’m also involved with my states CPA board.
I’m currently sitting on the CPA exam and will soon have the CFE exam, yet I can’t seem to break into this field. I should have the 150 credit hours by this December as well. A headhunter, who I really like, is surprised at the firms for not even considering me, despite how close to tax season it is (even the small ones want a ton of experience); i’m hoping firms continue to get more desperate as things draw on.
My only other option is to work at a small firm, doing primarily taxes, then hopefully do a few audits in the meantime to get the experience.
B=84 This exam was such a b**** that I thought I failed-don't know how these things work
A=76 Slacker I am, I'll happily take it
R=81 I LOVE taxes
F=80 I don't wanna get banned for an expletive I'm thinking with "yea" proceeding it
